getting the fellowship confused with the program nearly killed me.
Men and women are people and they will always fail to live up to my expectaions. And it was important to remember that these were men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem.
Easier to concentrate on how I can apply those spiritual principles in my daily life to save my own bacon, once I remembered that I couln't count on the fellowship to be my perfect salvation.
Wow...that's amazing...you just summed up exactly my confusion.
Thank you SO much for sharing this Gooch! This is what I have been doing for the last couple of days - expecting things from the people in the fellowship and not working the program in my *own* life.
I was getting p***ed off by certain people because I expected things from them.
Again, thank you Gooch, this helps me tremendously to let go of these things and focus on my own program :hugehug
