Trusting in God, I am fulfilled.
When events do not turn out as I planned, I don't let myself become bogged down in disappointment or allow my enthusiasm to wane. In prayer, I bring myself back to center. I turn my perspective around so that I see things in a new way and celebrate the good that is always there for me.
The more I trust God, the wiser I become. My expectations help me navigate through the detours of life and onto new roads of discovery. As I continue along on my journey, I rely on the guidance of Spirit so that I keep my steps steady. At each crossroad, I know the path I take leads to blessings ahead.
Turning around to face my good, I realize that what might have at first discouraged me will prove to be the dawning of a greater, more fulfilling experience.
"Keep my steps steady according to your promise."--Psalm 119:133

The 12 Steps hadn't come into being then, but as they say, the first step is the hardest. That first step can take you in the right direction or you could choose to go another way, hopefully not back to active addiction.

The 12 Steps taught me many things and gave me even more, because I was finally living in reality instead of wishing my life away, or in the old wars of should I, shouldn't I.

My first stop in the day is a meeting with my God, so I can make the right step into today.
