A.A. Thought for the Day
We come now to A.A. fellowship. It is partly group therapy. It is partly spiritual fellowship. But it is even more. It is based on a common illness, a common failure, a common problem. It goes deep down into our personal lives and our personal needs. It requires a full opening up to each other of our inmost thoughts and most secret problems. All barriers between us are swept aside. They have to be. Then we try to help each other get well. The A.A. fellowship is based on a sincere desire to help each other get well. The A.A. fellowship is based on a sincere desire to help the other person. In A.A. we can be sure of sympathy, understanding and real help. These things make the A.A. fellowship the best that we know. Do I fully appreciate the depth of the A.A. fellowship?
Meditation for the Day
The Higher Power can guide us to the right decisions if we pray about them. We can believe that many details of our lives are planned by God and planned with a wealth of forgiving love for the mistakes we have made. We can pray today to be shown the right way. We can choose the good, and when we choose it, we can feel that the whole power of the universe is behind us. We can achieve a real harmony with God's purpose for our lives.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may choose aright today. I pray that I may be shown the right way to live today.
I am experiencing growing pains right now. Lots of change is happening, more is being revealed, and the pains of moving toward healing are with me. It is difficult to see the path right now. I am relying on prayer and the guidance of a Higher Power and my fellowship right now. I have that knot in my stomach and that feeling that I want to run. They are not overwhelming me however. I have a sense of calm despite all that. I have a feeling this time that hasn't been there much in the past. That feeling is a sense of strength, of knowing that it will be okay and the path will appear eventually.....in the meantime I will have plenty of help along the way. It is strange to be here, as it is very unfamiliar, yet it is a relief to be able to make a choice to rely on my faith instead of letting fear be my guide.

"24 Hours a Day" is one of my daily readings, I always find I get more out of it when I 'read' it with someone...
My sponsor says that growing pains are good as the final outcome IS growth!
Hold on and breathe Rex....you are not alone and you will be guided. Now is a good time to be mindful of clutter in your mind that would keep you from feeling God's love.....breathe breathe . My HP doesn't "have ears" so I don't always have to use "words" when I pray. I put my face to the sky, my arms straight up and I offer up MY FEELINGS. Whew! what a release. Love you girl.....
great great post today Rex.
You are so willing...just hold on to willingness it truly is the KEY
Growing pains. I often call them the winds of change. Its always some new territory that I am learning to navigate, like a small sail boat upon unchartered waters. As you said, lots of prayer and just doing the next right thing, knowing that the last time I felt like this, thats what got me through.
Thankyou for calling in on me :-)
Great willingness
Thank for coming and the comments, Rex.
You will have plenty of help along the way.
faith for me is not an absence of fear, it is being afraid and having faith that I am not aloone in my pains of change
keep brathing
