April 20...

Sorrows come to stretch out spaces in the heart for joy.

Those of us, who have experienced the most sorrow, are usually the ones who can appreciate and own indescribable joy. Share someone’s sorrow, and it diminishes; share someone’s joy, and it grows larger.

Moment by moment, I will own my own sorrows; for I know without them I could never know the wonderful blessing of joy.

as if...

"i" tried to argue with God this morning...
who said: okay, have it your way...
stay in bed...covers over your head, and don't come out and play.
"i" was left alone to ponder the ego of me...
all those "i"'s just running around...it just spelled CRAZY...
hit my knees hollared "help me please", and the sun begin to shine...
my brain was no longer insane...and now ego is fine...

haha...fine in recovery means: f---cked up; irrational; neurotic; emotionally...NUTS...that is ego for you...

April 19...

We have been moving mountains long before we thought we could.

Many times we tackle things in life that seem to big for us...we often feel like we have taken on too much...because we have! We become frustrated and overwhelmed...those are the times when we should go to God in prayer and pray only for His will. The only mountains we need worry about moving, are the ones we create on a daily basis!

Moment by moment, I will remember that I am a spirit. When I walk in the spirit, I walk with God with whom all things are possible.

in this drama...not of it...

this is like that thing...to be or not to be...haha...

we are...but we are not...

how do i live in this world...stage...drama...but not be of it?

detach...detach...detach...

detach from what?

detach from ego...everything you think you are...you are not...

when faced with this drama of life...and faced with it we surely are...play your part...do not become the drama...laugh at the drama and know that it is not real...only illusion...

in recovering from ego...which is the dis-ease of self...long after one intellectually understands...the mind will react...and the body will follow...eventually...after working the steps, which is a way to rid one of one's ego...you will intuitively know how to handle situations that use to baffle you...

YOUR BODY HAS BEEN PROGRAMED TO REACT...BY YOUR MIND...IN REPROGRAMMING YOUR MIND...YOUR BODY WILL FOLLOW...IN TIME...follow the program...

April 18...

The hidden mystery is revealed within...

It has been said that to enter the Father we must do so through the Son. God is incomprehensible and inconceivable. Jesus, however, walked this earth, had all our feelings in common, and rose above his humanity, re-entering the divine realm, to sit down on the right hand of God. Jesus was the living word of God on earth, and our example of how to live and love on this earth. To Jesus was given the kingship and the kingdom...and through him, it was also given to us...Liberation...in refusing the son...we refuse the Father...If we refuse the Father, then ultimately we refuse ourselves, and refuse to acknowledge the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.

Moment by moment, I will allow my mind to be open to ideas that I may or may not believe. God will guide me into all knowledge if I let Him.

A chariot of spirit has borne me aloft.

Many times we have the idea that we, life, others, and God have let us down. This could not be further from the truth. Even before we were born we existed in the completeness of His glorious light. His Spirit has always been within us and is the very core of our eternal existence. How then can God possible deny a part of His eternal whole? He has always been and will always be. Our only necessity is to believe in that which is forever real.

Moment by moment, I will acknowledge the Eternal Spirit that is and has always been, for I am that Spirit, and that Spirit is who I am.

magic in the making...

don't think about tomorrow when you open up your eyes,
nor try to re-live yesterday, a new day's on the rise.
the sun will come up again today just as it did before,
and time will fly, and in the sky, the sun will set once more.
between those times, you will find, you make your dreams come true,
the past has been created; the future's up to you.
to be caught in between the two, is where you need to be,
there's magic in the making as each moment sets you free.
don't cry because the day is done, don't fear what lies ahead,
learn to live the moment; enjoy the NOW instead.
you have the power within you; a gift to you at birth,
you really can have heaven, while you're still here on earth.
be still and you can find it; it's not so very far;
you can own the universe, while wishing on a star.
you can dance upon the moon; ride your rainbow now;
skip and hop from star to star, believe me you know how.
you have just forgotten, what you knew well as a child;
you were meant for happiness, and freedom in the wild.
take a chance; play in the rain; run barefoot through the fields;
slow down to share the beauty of God's world and all that's real.
don't try to capture yesterday; tomorrow...set it free;
you are free...in today...if you so choose to be.
there's magic in the making; don't let it pass you by;
reach out and take it by the hand, and waltz across the sky...

April 16...

we must accept ourselves as well as everything else...

in accepting ones self, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful...all must be included...if we are honest with ourselves, we have some of all in us...on acceptance of this, we can then be free to accept power from the very source of itself, and turn it over.

moment by moment, i will bring what i am to this great power of the universe...humbly acknowleging that i am nothing of myself...and allow this power to recreate my life...

magic...

acceptance is a magical tool for me...once i accept right where i am and how i am feeling...then i no longer am focused on the thing...my thinking is freed up, and magic happens...it is truly amazing...fixing to go out into the world...the sun is shining, and i am certain that i will enjoy my walk to work. the weather is nice, and i only have a four hour shift...the rains of previous days were needed, however; when it rains my body hurts so...barametric pressure i have been told...hmmmmmmmmm...all in all, i have so much gratitude...my legs still walk, my eyes still see, can still feel the breeze on my face...and my heart is full of gratitude and peace...i love sobriety...clean and free...living in today...

our search for God...

so many search high and low to find God...God is not lost! he hides not in the pages of an ancient book...he hides not behind a sign that says catholic, jew, christian, add infintum...you do not need to go into a specific building...the kingdom of God is within and without...and there are no laws...except God's law of love...

where can you find God? God is within you...and without...withall....where God has always been...waiting for your acceptance...
