We are what we are. - -Motto of Lake Wobegon, Garrison Keillor
Sometimes we devote so much effort to being what we are not, that we lose the chance to be what we are. We have one identity for this person and another for that one. Our co-workers, neighbors, friends, and family all expect different things of us, leaving us wondering who we actually are. How can we be so many different things to so many people?
God wants us to be only who we are. We were created with unique characteristics for a purpose, even if that purpose isn't always clear to us. We need to be who we really are, and to be the best we can be, knowing that God approves because God created us as we are.
I will be the best me that I know how to be.

yes! I had to be other than me to survive. And I didn't develop myself, and finally didn't even know 'me' at all. It seems easy, doesn't it? "Just be yourself". I am now, developing myself . That is what this program is, and I am very, very grateful. The Steps help me to be who God created me to be. But it is not easy.
love in recovery.,
