Yes guided here years ago...today

Sitting here now wondering what happened. ......All I can say is HEED the warning....Your sobriety is like a child, you need to teach it, you need to nurture it, you need go guard it, you need to respect....you need to take care of it daily.

When you stop taking care of it, it turns on you......I didn't know that, I do today, today I struggle once again. I had a small window of hope, it let me in, I don't know if that window will open for me again, I am old, been doing this for to many years.

Soooooo those of you who have your sobriety, don't snub your nose to it, do whatever you need to do to keep it.

Sometimes I ask the question

Be Still

Sometimes I ask the question,
"My Lord, is this your will?"
It's then I hear you answer me,
"My Precious Child... be still."

Sometimes I feel frustrated,
Cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear you say to me,
"My Busy Child... just rest"

"I know the plans I have for you,
The wondrous things you'll see;
If you can just be patient, Child,
And put your trust in me.

I've plans to draw you closer.
I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see
And much you do not know.

But know this, Child ..... I LOVE YOU.
You are Precious unto Me.
Before I formed you in the womb,
I planned your destiny.

I've something very special
I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give to you
Are gifts you cannot earn.

They come without a price tag,
But not without a cost;
At Calvary, I gave Myself,
So You would not be lost.

Rest, Child, and do not weary
Of doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you
Just like I said I would.

Your name is written on my palm,
I never could forget;
Therefore, do not be discouraged when
My answer is... "Not Yet"
