So why is it that sometimes we think we are walking in faith yet we still have that feeling of doom, failure, and or fear in our heads? 

Change brings this on more than anything for me. 

Now maybe it’s different for you, but I have this crazy head and it sometimes doesn’t like to connect with my heart. 

What I have learned, and mostly the hard way over the years, is that my self-will lives in my head and it loves to tell my heart what a loser and failure it thinks I am. 

Thanks to God, AA, SCAA, and a picket fence of friends, I have learned to tune that noise in my head out and focus on my heart where the Holy Spirit resides and directs me if I let Him. 


So when I get that feeling that perhaps I am going to fail or things are not going to go right, I politely thank my head and then shut the door on those thoughts and focus on what my faith and my heart are saying to me. 


How do you quiet your head so your heart can lead you?.. 


Check your experience… 


“Here was something at work in a human heart which had done the impossible.” Big Book pg 11 

Lord, let us turn out will and our lives over to Your care and direction daily, AMEN. 

“And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?” Luke 24:38 


 Have a blessed day y’all!

Don’t turn a bad moment into a bad day….


Have you ever noticed that what you focus on influences how you feel and act?


For instance playing with children can make some older folks feel young and more alive.


How about the feeling of accomplishment after completing a workout at the gym?


What about the uncomfortable and unpleasant parts of our day that we all have?


Have you ever noticed what happens when we focus on that?


It tends to drag us into the negative mindset and bring us down.


Now maybe it’s different for you, but I have found that when I enter into the unpleasant moments of my day, ...


instead of focusing on the anticipation of the impending doom or negativity,..


I remind myself of all the good in my life and that this is just a moment in my day that will eventually pass.


I find that when I greet negative times with cheerfulness, the negativity has a hard time taking me hostage.


How’s that working out for you?..


Check your experience…


“We were prepared to look at it from an entirely different angle.” Big Book pg 66


Lord, let us walk through the negative times knowing this is but a moment but You are in our heart forever and that we have blessings awaiting us, AMEN.  


“Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” Philippians 2:14-15  



Have a blessed day y’all!

Drop the doubt… 

Facing the Giants is a movie close to my heart. 

One of the scenes in the movie involves a young man that basically has been crippled by doubt in his abilities and it has spread to his faith. 

Luckily, he has a few men in his life that see this and help him to work through his doubts and embrace faith not only in his abilities but also grow his faith in God. 

This reminds me look at myself and examine the areas in my life where doubt has invaded to limit my belief in myself and the power of Jesus. 

My experience has taught me that when I drop the doubt and replace it with faith in myself and the Lord, amazing things happen. 

What areas of your life are controlled by doubt and holding you back?... 

Check your experience… 

“Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more… You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.” Matthew 21-21:22 

Lord, let us drop our doubts and replace them with faith in ourselves and You, AMEN. 

“I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me.” Big Book pg. 13 


Have a blessed day Y'all!
