...His Power is always available.

Prayer for the Day

I pray for the realization that God has everything I need. I pray that I may know that His power is always available.

Today I really needed it. This was my first day volunteering with a new guy and opening the Internet Cafe in the mall next to my Senior complex. I walked in and one of the other volunteers was there and said, "I am here to train him." Apparently, they had made changes and had not informed me of them.

I wrote an e-mail to the guy in charge and told him that I thought that it wasn't fair to them to make the decision without informing me. They were disrespectful to me as a person and I felt as though they were insulting my intelligence. It wasn't that long ago that I spared, and I have been volunteering for a long time.

I had to do a few Serenity Prayers because my first thought was to walk out the door. The old me would have thrown a hissy fit. What I did was express myself calmly to the girl and explained how I felt. I also told her that when we had the business meeting last week, I should have been informed of the changes.

Maybe it means I am not suppose to be here, but I don't think so. It helps me to get out of my apartment and allows me to socialize with others. Getting out of self is what it is all about.

Have gotten back into doing a meditation that I used several years ago. I use it for centering myself and for self-awareness and balancing my chakras. After I did it yesterday, I got a good score in bridge and today, although we didn't do as well, the result was satisfactory. The pain has been so bad and over powering lately and I realized I needed to surrender it to my Higher Power because the pain was ruling my life. No matter what direction my life takes, when I practice the Step One, Two, Three Waltz, I am empowered to do what I need to do for myself. I can't, God, can, and just for today, I choose to let Him.

Like the title of this. I haven't played bridge for a long time, have been thinking of going back to play. I will turn it over and see what happens. I feel like I may be a newbie, and that is alright.

When I surrender (not give up, but give over), my life into my God's Care, He gives me the energy and the Good Orderly Direction I need to get through a day, clean and sober.

Was just trying to remember the meditation. I think it was the color meditation I posted recently
