Step 3-----thoughts

What is Step Three about?

Quote:
"Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood him."

Step Two was the springboard for spiritual awakening. Now, in Step Three, we are poised for that dive into the bottomless pool of trust where we begin practicing a belief we are not even sure we have.

Day by day, we will examine this step in all of its implications and ramifications. We will probably experience some doubt and skepticism about our ability to truly surrender our will and our lives to the unknown.

But we can not have come this far without feeling that there have been some subtle cahnges in our attitudesa and reactions. Before we're through, we'll experience even more of these behavioral and attidudinal changes.
