โˆž the shelter of faith โˆž

Posted: Tue, Jan 11, 2005 05:35:08 AM

what i have forgotten recently is that i can find the strength and solace i need through the connection with my Higher Power. i have moved once again into a FAITH-based program instead of the fear-based, merely by finishing an assignment from my sponsor.
the thing i find truly amazing is that a human can express so simply and explicitly what i need to do to move through my turmoil and fear. and yes, i have been living in fear lately. there are many things i desire in this life and i have been trapped into not doing the footwork, solely based on the fear of the change achieving these desires may entail. although i am not any less fearful of the coming changes, i have the strength to move ahead and the faith that the outcome will be exactly what it supposed to be, if i stay clean, live by the spiritual principles that i have been given and allow GOD to do the work that needs to be done in my life. i guess you might call that courage, but i seem to lean towards perseverance and faith, the whole idea is that if i want my desires, needs and wants to met, i have to do the work to achieve them, ONE DAY AT A TIME!
