GOD-CENTERED - SELF-CENTERED
Anytime I have ever tried to shut God out of my life, my
whole world seems to turn upside down.... Today HE is
my world!
For me, it helps when I start my day with prayer and ask
for direction.... I have to stay in constant contact even if it's
a quick "now what Lord"! I am still fighting very hard to find
the will to completely throw out my cigarettes and trust me
I have had some real scares thrown into my life. I know
with HIS help I can do it, it's all a matter of trust, I just
haven't been able to get into the wheelbarrow yet....
Please keep me in your prayers! Hugs, SG

Always a good chip, geting out of the "I" and turning things over to God. I look at my posts and try not to put many "I"s into them but I try to make ti personal and show what worked for me, when I say we, I can't give someone else my feelings. Yet, I can't, God can, and we will do this together.
Not sure if that makes sense or not, but is written!
Will continue to pray for you my friend. I know I had to pray for the willingness to be willing many times over. I did not want to give them up. It wasn't until I came to the decision that I wanted to be a clear, clean channel when sharing the message of recovery with others that gave me the insentive to quit.
I was amazed at how much anger, rejection, abandonment, and fear issues were there hiddend by the cigarettes that hadn't come out in early recovery when I did my 4th and 5th.

I am sure I am on the GOD centered side of this chip today. There were times in my life I was neither. IS that possible? I felt so low and felt so far down in a hole I was not self centered at all. I had no trust in GOD because I truly beleived he had abandoned me when I needed him. So I didn't pray. I didn't go to church. But I also was not self centered. I was centered on others...and how I woudl make them do what I knew they shoudl be doing. I dont think that was self centered OR God centered.
But today I also start my day and end my day with prayer. I go to church evey Sunday. I do several ministries at my church. I pray and thank God throughout the day. So yep..God centered is the ME today.

Had a friend ask me how my spirit was throughout my falls and hospitalization. I told her good, then I remember saying that I was sick and tired of being tired and sick.
A couple of falls were because I was rushing. Didn't sound like a whole lot of acceptance, not that a fractured back is something I want every day.
