Walk Your Talk

Walk your talk…

Plan your work then work your plan….

Stay in the now….

Keep your feet on the ground but keep reaching for the stars…. 

These are just a few of the takeaways and good reminders I have gathered over the years in the 12 Step rooms. 

What all of these encouraging words mean to me is that I must walk daily on the path of humble spiritual growth.

 I have found the best way for me to do this is by keeping a picket fence of friends around me who not only share a strong faith but also practice spiritual principles in their daily lives that allows us to live transparently as we grow in our walk with Christ… 

Check your experience!.. 

“We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.” Big Book pg 164 

Lord, thank you for filling my heart with a humble willingness to know You better daily and surrounding me with others who also seek to know and do Your will, AMEN. 

“Watch the path of your feet and all your ways will be established.” Proverbs 4:26 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Transforming Time

Be transformed..... 

Those pesky expectations 

I sometimes allow to sneak in and dominate my thinking always cause me confusion when real everyday life fails to match up to the picture in my head of what it's SUPPOSED to be like. 

I do my best to neither set expectations nor try to live by the expectations of others. 

Everyone is human, and like me, prone to faults, fears, and forgetfulness. 

 I have found through years of trial and error, that when I try to be present in the moment and work with what I have instead of what I think or feel I should have, my day and my life goes better. 

When those pesky expectations try to grab my attention and sway my thinking, I turn them over to God and stay in the moment trying to be of maximum service to those around me. 

Check your experience… 

"Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives." Big Book pg 86. 

Lord let us renew our minds and refresh our hearts with Your Spirit replacing our expectations, AMEN. 

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind," Romans 12:2 

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Flaws and Hang -Ups

Those dang emotional flaws and mental hang ups… 

How are we supposed to know the difference between self-will and God's will? 

 Experience and others have taught me that if I am giving my best effort without regard to fear, pride, envy, gluttony, greed, anger, or sloth then I am doing God's will and not mine. 

IF I am focusing on my pride, anger, greed, lust, envy, greed, or sloth (PAGLEGS) then I am in self-will. 

AA’s Joe and Charlie said best with their explanation of Steps 6 and 7; "I don't do what I want to do. (Self-will) I just do what I ought to do. (God's will)" 

I find I can keep my self-will in check by checking my motives and efforts… 

Check your experience… 

“Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate.” Big Book pg. 62 

Lord help us to recognize our emotional flaws and park our mental hang-ups in those times when our self-will seeks to overturn Your will for us, AMEN. 

"The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other." Galatians 5:17 

 Have a blessed day Y'all!
