listening for GOD's voice within
posted: Thu, Nov 25, 2004 09:44:56 AM
reflecting quickly back on my recovery has opened my eyes to the where i came from.
lately, i have felt that i am on a journey through the dark that i can neither see the beginning nor the end. i am not walking in darkness as there is illumination around me. this is not a fearful journey and i am currently suffering no privations.
today's reading allows me to at least remember where this journey started and the general direction of where i am going. the calm still voice inside reassures me that i am doing what i need to and to just keep the FAITH. the destination is irrelevant and truly an outside issue. the imp[ortant part is the journey itself and what i need to remain steadfast and courageous through LIFE.

flowing (stream);--it becomes the centre to which tend (all the small
states) under heaven.
