I am reminded this morning, with all that I have read, (the whole page) that this is a Spiritual Program, nothing less, even when it appears to be something else, that is only an illusion. Reminding myself not to be deceived by outward appearances. Recovery in this Program is an Inside Job.
"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve my consious contact with God as I understand God"
hi, toni,, thanks for that.. yes,, it is a spiritual program,,, and Step 2 and then 3 is the hub of it. I saw my 'came to believe' book the other day,,, but all my stuff is in a jumble because I got rid of the old furniture,, bookcases and got the new ones.. my closets are empty cuz being painted,,, and I can't find it today. I guess it's not time for me to post stuff from that quite yet.
Coming to believe in a loving God has made ALL the difference to me. I don't feel like I have to be Atlas with the world on my shoulders any more.. God can handle it and I am His child. I don't feel like God is a hostile and sadistic judge anymore,, waiting for an excuse to gleefully cast me into hell,, and being open to His will has allowed miracles to happen in my life, and my son's. God has done for me what I could not do or even think of to do. And the spiritual awakening has allowed me to see that this day with things we see and touch is not all there is.. there is more,,, beautiful, wonderful more.
May the Supreme Being bless you all,
amanda

Tony, that is for sure. I know that the difficulties I face right now, are of my own making. I refused to fully acknowledge my side of the problem. So I slowly fell away from using this Idea to disolve the "differences" at work. This morning I prayed for Him to remove all my defects. Such a difference. Fear is subsiding, doubt drifting away, willingness increasing... here comes a bit of peace. Thank You.
