I can’t second guess God, I just don’t know what he has in store for me. I was directed to take the action and stay out of the results. I must have faith that if I am taking the right action, that results will be as destined by how much I am surrending my will and moving towards spiritual truth of the principles. It was presented to me today so clearly that I must remember that fact. Someone I was of service to 14 years ago, saw me walking in a parking lot, drove up and shouted out my name, got out of his car and gave me a warm embrace. As we shared he showed me a chip I gave him back in 2004. He told me he carried it in his pocket everyday, and he had 7 years clean and sober, he carried it for hope. I knew instantly what the message to me was, that the spirit does his work through the correct actions we take. I didn’t really do much except what I was supposed to do, which is to plant the seed, and let the spirit cultivate. I never know what the results bring, but if I do what was suggested for me to do, miracles can happen. I always need to stay out of the way, because I don’t always know what God’s plans are. Thanks for the call.

It is so easy to fall into self-pity. Everytime things don’t go the way I think they should, it becomes easy to become the victim. Quite a few of us come in with this feeling, and it takes us time to realize that the world and people are not resposible for my feelings. The Big Book describe’s so vividly to us about our selfish and self seeking way’s, and that we must come to see the manifestation of self in all. This now becomes my everyday mission, to witness how I can so easily make it someone else’s fault. This is the purpose of the 10th step for me, I have to see what I am doing as not to let me be victimized by my own self. The realization that I can change my thinking in the course of minutes, if I truly adhere to the steps and principles, has been a life saving vehicle for me. When I have those moments, and I do, I must remember to PRACTICE these principles in all my affairs, what a concept. You did it again, you made a 12 step call on me.
