Sometimes we find ourselves alone but not necessarily lonely and we are happy with that, but society tends to put pressures on us to get connected to someone or to find a mate.

Sometimes we find ourselves alone but not necessarily lonely and we are happy with that, but society tends to put pressures on us to get connected to someone or to find a mate. We can be a place of support for your decision. When you become comfortable with your decision and that this is best for you, family and friends will accept that this time is for you and you decide when and if you want a partner.

Lately you've decided that maybe you are ready to start dating or start dating again. Whatever stage in life you are, finding the right person for you can be challenging, ... And well, deciding to date is vastly different from dating. You also notice that your friends and family are starting to couple up. You've also noticed some of them breaking up separating and even divorcing. It is difficult to ignore the pain in their faces. Yet you still want to meet the RIGHT person, the person for you. And this search is important and requires loads of patience. And not just patience, but PATIENCE. Meaning the pain of waiting is nothing compared to the pain of a broken heart. So, what do you do? Don't allow society to pressure you to jump into a relationship, listen to your heart and how you feel about yourself when you are with your partner. Remember communication is essential. That means you are in tune to what they say and what they don't say. Compare their communications to their deeds.
Congratulations! You've finally met the one person that has an outward appearance that you love, but most importantly they have a heart that exceeds their outward beauty. They also have you in mind as a lifelong love. Plans are forming in how you will begin this new life together. The very thought is fresh and exciting. While in the midst
Congratulations! You've finally met the one person that has an outward appearance that you love, but most importantly they have a heart that exceeds their outward beauty. They also have you in mind as a lifelong love. Plans are forming in how you will begin this new life together. The very thought is fresh and exciting. While in the midst of this euphoria we help couples look at their future together. A future in which they look at what each person brings to the relationship. One important thing to remember is that each relationship is unique in all the world and should never be compared to others, even those most familiar to you.
Being married is a blessing from God, in fact before He rested on the seventh day, He created and ordained a man and a woman to become One. It really does take commitment and patience to cling to the person sitting across from you at the dinner table, who you know is unhappy with you at the moment. Above commitment and patience is LOVE, a
Being married is a blessing from God, in fact before He rested on the seventh day, He created and ordained a man and a woman to become One. It really does take commitment and patience to cling to the person sitting across from you at the dinner table, who you know is unhappy with you at the moment. Above commitment and patience is LOVE, and I'm not speaking of that euphoric feeling but,.. the decision to LOVE. This trait is identical to God’s desire to love us. He commands is love toward us (Rom 5:8). The marriages that last? They are the ones that fought the hardest to remain as One.
Whether you've been married a few months or for decades. The same is true.... work is required and is constant. There are few days off from work on the relationship.

Whether you've been married a few months or for decades. The same is true.... work is required and is constant. There are few days off from work on the relationship. The couples that have the most success are the ones who put the relationship first and Jesus as the basis for your closeness. When we say work we mean deciding that you are determined to keep your marriage safe and valued. When one or both partners, start to believe they don't need each other, It becomes a slippery slope. The couple needs to fight for the life of their marriage even in their hearts, they must uplift and defend and speak well of their partner when the temptation comes to think poorly of each other. If we don’t fight in this battle ground of the mind, the battle can be lost before they realize it.
You wake up one day and the reality of being legally separated and or divorced hits hard. What do you do? The world watched as you declared this person as your forever life partner. Now? you feel you must bear the weight and thoughts alone. The same person you trusted to share their life with you is now gone. You don’t have to feel alo
You wake up one day and the reality of being legally separated and or divorced hits hard. What do you do? The world watched as you declared this person as your forever life partner. Now? you feel you must bear the weight and thoughts alone. The same person you trusted to share their life with you is now gone. You don’t have to feel alone through this time, The Lord is reaching out to you and wants to comfort you. You feel the world sees your pain, maybe you feel shame or anger or even relief. In any event this is your time for a healing of the soul.

Successful relationships often allow free, but safe passage from one level to the next. This however is not done without a time to slow down to allow safe passage without burdensome cost. Toll roads are in theory designed to provide for current and future support for the journey ahead. In some relationships there are similar tones, sometimes partners may require large emotional payments in order to move forward, but this has always been destructive. Individuals who require great personal costs in order to allow passage to the next level of the relationship. While others are unwilling to slow down to allow safe passage through the relational toll booth. Persons who require costs such as materialistic, emotional, psychological payments, will one day grow to regret the cost they demanded. Or the partner may resent being asked to pay such high costs. There must always be a mutual and gradual movement to the next level without a payment that seems unfair to the other partner. In the end the one partner should not expect a cost and the other should have the emotional means and maturity to pay.
Welcome to a rest stop on this road we call LIFE. Hopefully together we find peace in HIS Words.
Your road to spiritual closeness is still open and is never too late.
Our unique approach is to help offer a safe neutral ground for individuals, families, and couples. And in this safe place is an environment based in Biblical foundations. A place where everyone has a voice, no matter the size of that voice.
Our focus is to help individuals see their way to healing, get refueled, energized and become more aware of their connection to Christ. We achieve this through prayer and the scriptures, by providing willing ears and shoulders, a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a spiritual direction.
I discovered years ago that no one grows up hoping to have a poor relationship, quite the opposite. But as we enter into the awareness of being attracted to another, something happens and it's called LIFE. Life can be viewed much like a road, and on this road we encounter people who sometimes are going in the exact opposite direction as we are. We may not always recognize their direction is not good for us, but their look, personality or any number of things can convince us, they are the perfect person for us. Even when there are big Red 🛑 warning signs, these can be the times when we rationalize the most about them. Things like ….. and we're using the road analogy here, "what pothole" or that's not a flat tire, or that's the way it sounds all the time". Or in other cases someone might say "What? I don't smell anything" even when everyone around them does. These are the times we need clear and open discussions about our partner, directions, road conditions and timing. All of these play a critical role in who we travel with through this life. And maybe ACC can help.
Hello Weary Traveler, Rest stops are on major highways and are there to allow the driver and passengers to stretch their legs, walk the dog visit the restroom etc. But what it does is provide a break from the road and its demands. At ACC we want to provide a rest stop, a place where the partners or individuals can gather themselves get a breath of fresh air. In a sense get energized/refreshed/refueled for the road ahead.
There is still time and room for you. If you just want to talk and be heard regardless of the of your situation you are still very valuable.
