I got back to work and get into the week long routine. I think it helps to have structure in my life
and I will try not to fear stuff until it actually happens. Do you have faith or fear??? Please let me know! Thanks----Mistyeve

Morning Mistyeve,
When I was learning about defects and assets I learned that when a defect is removed it is filled by the asset. There is not a hole in your soul , it becomes filled with all the good stuff that God intended for us.
For a long time God was out of my life and not that bad things happened but there was an emptiness. Something was missing, there was a void, a hole. As I worked this program God came back into my life. Not the God from the past with all the man made rules and regulations, a God that I , me, could talk to. A God that I could put my faith in. A God that I could trust. A God that would guide me on His Divine path. Prior to recovery God was something I read about in a book unseen and unfelt. Now today I KNOW HE is all around me guiding everything I do. There is a purpose to His plan.
This is one of the things that I am most grateful for that the program has given me. Restoring my faith in a Higher Power. To coin a phrase my kids would use "God rocks!"
Love and God Bless
Arlene

Lildee said it very well. Once we have FAITH, the FEAR is gone. I think of it like power...fear is very powerful but faith is MORE powerful.
Keeping my faith that things in my life will turn out like HE thinks best, helps me quell my fears. It's also nice to realize that most of the things I fearred, never came to pass anyway. Let them GO and let GOD take over.
LIN

I used to have fear of changes. Well I still do a tad bit  but I understand that to adapt to changes to somehting in my life or whatever, I have to have alot of faith in its reason why its that way in the first place. So faith is a pretty good thing to have because w/o it it would get me nowhere in life today.  Have a great day.  |
