Chicory, I've heard it said that courage isn't an absence of fear. It's facing the fear, and doing the next right thing in spite of the fear.

I have felt fear many times in my recovery over the years. I have made decisions based on fear, and that ultimately blew up in my face.

But you know what? I learned from those times.

You're not on a time table dear, none of us are.

I just know God's got some really big hands, and when I find myself afraid, I place all that fear smack dab in the middle of his hands.

Gentle hugs to you on the Kansas winds.
