i was having an awesome discussion with one of my sponcees tonight. the subject of bumps in the road came up. he said after a year and a half he doesn't have those bumps in the road. and we started exploring this. i mean i have a few days behind me but i still have bumps in the road. there are character defects that arise that i happily return to God with and humbly ask him to remove. we talked on about those bumps actually being learning blocks in life. people, places, things or situations put in my life to allow me the ability to grow. about how step 10 allows me to reflect over the day and see where self had crept in. i think i know where he was coming from. and this is kinda the conclusion we ended up with. that although there may be bumps in the road, by his grace the craterous pot-holes are no longer there. the big chunks out of the road i'm walking today God has filled. and the bumps on my path, the ones that once looked like mountains to me, don't seem to be so impossible.
with the help of God, living life on lifes terms, one day at a time. isn't that awesome to be able to do that today. to be given the strength to move forward today and not dwell over yesterday. to be able to learn and grow from our experiences, and to be able to share those with other people. WOW how truely blessed we are. with this program and the people in it. thank all of you for being here.
hugs
