δ sometimes what occurs in my life can be frightening, as change often seems. δ
posted: Wed, Apr 30, 2008 10:33:58 AM
as i move forward with faith, the strength of my Higher Power is never far from me. my recovery is strengthened by these changes. change is never easy for me, and i like to resist it, by choosing to ignore it. after all, if i ignore what i see changing, it will occur without my intervention anyhow, and i can safely ignore what is going on inside.
well, my recent experience has shown that is never the case, and the evidence is that i need to be present for change withing me, as well as in my life circumstances, such as those suggested by the reading. the changes i have been ignoring, is what has been going on inside of me as a result of the step work i just have finished. i am certainly more in touch with who and what i am, but what i had failed to notice, is that as the seventh step propelled me into a place that i am cognizant of behaving contrary to my beliefs.
but anyhow, time to run. i will no longer cave to fear, i can be who i am and i can allow myself to see the world and myself as it really is!
