Tuesday: Faith -or- Fear

[SunnyGirl]

Faith -or- Fear

"Faith can move mountains, but don’t be surprised if God
hands you a shovel." - - Anonymous

I've said it before, when I chose this chip, it always reminds
me of Dorrie and the story about the going across the
Grand Canyon on a tight rope, inside the wheelbarrow.

As I understand faith, if it doesn't include some work from
me I'm not practicing it. If I don't exercise my faith, it's ends
up with no strength and becomes useless.

I do allow fear to enter in to me, but when I realize what I'm
doing, I use prayer to get myself centered again. In my heart
I know that God is always there for me, in the good times and
in the troubling times. He expects me to pick up the shovel and
He will give me the strength I need to move that mountain, or
maybe He will show me the way around it. I trust HIM and have
faith that He will get me through each day.

I also have faith, that I can use the tools of recovery and they
will help me to grow and learn on this journey of life. ODAT

Peace on the journey, SG

Like the quote SG. Have been telling myself I have faith and that my eye operation will turn out as well as the other one. I have been praying and hoping that something can be done with the shakes in both hands. I find I am typing and posting duplicates. I have to hold onto my glass with two hands. Little things that add up to frustration. Trying not to count the days, just stay in today, keep the faith and know that no matter what happens, things will be alright.

It always amazes me when I am lead to an old quote. My old surgeries are long gone and they were a big success, and not nearly as fearful as I though they would be.

My eyes have been running and I was fearful that I was going to have to have further surgery, only to be told that I have next to 20/20 vision.

I think the biggest issue, is that I use them to much. I need to take a time out. When I need a break, get off the computer. Perhaps find a large print instead of one with regular print, and if all else fails, watch TV.

It also helps to go to a meeting, I was thinking of the Tuesday meeting today. I don't have Darts booked but I can use my Taxi Script and take a bus home. The best way to get out of self, is to help others.
