Topic: Are You Exercising Patience?
Patience is much more than a
"hide and watch" attitude. It is
sustained trying. We must be
willing to wait for fullfillment. We
can head straight for our goal
of sobriety and cleanness, if we
only pause for the stop-lights
along the way and wait.
If we insist on plunging ahead,
refusing to wait, we are sure to
go the long way around, and we
lose sight of our objective in the
roundabout journey. We need to
keep in mind always that our
objective is a sober, clean way
of thinking and living. Yes, we
have to have patience or our
objective will slip away. Do I
exercise patience?
HP, help me to do the things today
that will make me ready. Help me
to be willing to wait for the right
things.
Hi Im Sharon and Im an Alcoholic.
By the grace of my HP and people
like u here in SR i havent had a drink
of alcohol since 8-11-90.
For that im truely grateful.
It seems like ive been waiting all
my life for something or someone
to make me happy....
Ive been waiting to go back home to
Baton Rouge since the day we moved
here 10 yrs ago.
Ive come here with the expectations of
returning after we got the kids thru
school. And now that they are nearing
graduation for one and into her 2nd
yr....they r well on their way....
As the time clock ticks away, id like
to make a difference in my life. To
do something worth while. To
do what His Will is for me....
I want to return home to the place
i got sober 16 yrs ago and help others
in person....not just here online, but
face to face with them....
Ive done some of the footwork
as far as sending in my application
for a job position....now i have to
be patient while it is processed.
I remember hearing this saying on
one of those biblical movies where
Jesus says...."Why waste one minute of
worrying." I guess if we could place
our faith in that Power Greater than us
then we will be taken care of.
Believe me...my trust is in His hands
at this point in my life.
Anxious for something to happen but
nontheless im willing to practice some
patience at this time.
Thanks for letting me share.
