Today's Daily Reflections...
The more we become willing to depend on a Higher Power, the more independant we actually are.
Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions pg.36
I start with a little willingness to trust God and He causes that willingness to grow. The more willingness I have, the more trust I gain, the more willingness I have. My dependance on God grows as my trust in Him grows. Before I became willing , I depended on myself for all my needs and I was restricted by my incompleteness. Through my willingness to depend upon my Higher Power, whom I choose to call God, all my needs are provided for by Someone Who knows me better than I know myself- even the needs I may not realize, as well as the ones yet to come. Only Someone Who knows me that well could bring me to be myself and to help me fill the need to somone else that only I am meant to fill. There never will be another exactly like me. And that is real independance.
TodAAy I am thAAnkful and grAAteful for the following...
* that He did break the mold after He made me!
* for all my (sober) blogging friends who share their experience, strength and hope with me .
* for all my (other) blogging friends who show me that 'earthlings' can be cool too .
* After FIVE WHOLE DAYS TOGETHER there was no blood shed between Angel and me !!!
* I am clean and sober todAAY.
* I am learning to put new stuff on my Blog without deleting the whole thing !
* Through learning to love myself more I am also learning to be more kind, respectful and loving to others.
* No matter where I go, there I am!
* I have willingness todAAY.
Keep coming back...TTFN

I'm so glad your time with Angel turned out OK. Keep it going :). You're doing awesome!
No bloodshed is great. Remember, I have teens too.
This was the weekend from hell but somehow we all survived.
Yay! you are on the Top 100..... So weird willingness seems to be the topic today, oh well "great minds all thinking alike....."
Oh girl, for some reason when I've been going to your blog all week, I have seen the promises at the top, and thought you had not been posting....I thought the Promises was your LAST post. Anyway, goofy me...So I just read the week to catch up...whew. Stay honest with yoursel...that's working good for you.
tell Angel that I send greetings from the paradise that we call Grand Rapids, Michigan - "where the north begins and the waters run pure."
and btw -
the newest little kiddo is due in about (that is: "a-boot" in your language isn't it??? haha) 3 months.
enjoy the day
Thank you for the supportive comments! Your lists help me remember to be grateful. Funny how that works, about praying for willingness, the more we have. I am working on my 4th step, & I have to keep praying for willingness, it works. We discussed prayer tonite at the meeting, & how it does work, there are so many good ones. Hang in there with Angel, it will get better. I like your picture. Sweet.
Love, Sharon
