Default Trusting The Process

Quote:
"It was the hardest two years of my life," a woman said. "So many painful, unexpected events happened. I felt so abandoned, so lost. I didn't understand what was happening, and I felt tortured by God and life. I didn't think it would ever end. But it did. Now I can look back on that time and say, Wow. Look at all I learned. There's nothing that life can bring my way that I can't handle and get through."

She learned self-confidence. But whether she's conscious of it or not, this woman is beginning to learn the value of trusting the process.

Application:

Sometimes we don't know what we're learning, or whether we're learning anything at all. It's easy to look back on a situation once it has worked itself out and be in awe of the process and all that we learned. The time we most need to trust the journey is when it looks like we can't.

52 Weeks of Conscious Contact by Melody Beattie
How true this is, when things get rough, the tough get going. Even my horoscope today told me that I needed to reach out and ask for help, that I am not omnipotent.

Learning to accept things in the day, with the thought that everything is subject to change, give me hope for a better tomorrow. Not only acceptance of my disease, but acceptance of myself, as I am in today, knowing that I am a Child of God and that I am Loved and Worthy of Recovery!

I can't, God can, just for today, I choose to let Him.
