We ARE enough… 

I don’t know about you, but sometimes this magic magnifying mind of mine tries to tell me things that just are not true. 

It especially likes to try to convince me that I am not worthy and not “good enough” for this or that. 

It loves to try to get me to believe the illusion that I am nothing and have nothing to offer others! 

Thank goodness for AA, SCAA, the 12 Steps, and God’s Word. 

Through the fellowships of AA, SCAA, and CONSTANTLY working the 12 Steps, as well as being in God’s Word daily I know that what my mind wants me to believe is false and that I need not let it run my thoughts and actions. 

I am nowhere near perfect, but I can help others! 

We all matter and each of us has the ability to share and help another! 


Give what you got. 

Go with what you have and make your best effort. 

If you are truly seeking God's will and your motives are of His spirit you will be amazed..

Check your experience… 

"we did because we honestly wanted to, and were willing to make the effort" Big Book pg. 26 

Lord let us look to seek Your will and give our best efforts with what we have instead of allowing our self-will to delude us to thinking we can't, AMEN. 

"Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people. And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full." Luke 9: 16-17

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Uncover Discover Discard…

One of the best ways to move forward is to understand our past. 

Experience has taught me and those I trust and learn from that while we can learn from our past and benefit from these life lessons, it’s neither healthy, nor beneficial to allow the unprocessed pain and hurt from the past to control our thoughts, actions, and motives. 

It’s great to learn from both mistakes and successes, but when fear, anger, and even pride fuel the way we look at our past, it freezes our hearts and influences our minds negatively from the benefit of the life lesson. 

12 Step helps us to look at our past objectively. 

When we become willing to uncover the pains, shames, and hurts from our past we can discover how it still has a negative hold on us. 

This part of the 12 Step process allows us to then look at the event or experience and discard it from our heart. 

When we can Uncover, Discover, and Discard we are set free and can move forward. 

“We have been trying to get a new attitude, a new relationship with our Creator, and to discover the obstacles in our path.” Big Book pg. 72 

Lord, we ask Your guidance as we look to grow from our past and no longer be a prisoner of it, AMEN. 

“And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:19

When WANTS overpower NEEDS…. 

There are few rules of life that I try to go by to keep my wants from overpowering my needs. 

For instance, I don’t go to the grocery store hungry, and I try not to make big decisions until I have had a chance to think it through, pray about it, and get advice from those I trust. 

I also try to respond instead of reacting. 

Now perhaps it’s different for you, but I have learned that my WANTS seem to be fueled by my pride, fear, resentment, and or greed. 

That puts me deep in self-will and away from God's will for sure. 

Check your experience… 

"The greatest enemies of us are resentment, jealousy, envy, frustration, and fear." Big Book pg. 145 

Lord help us to check our motives and efforts so that our self-will does not lead us to fear, resentment, or greedy actions, AMEN. 

"What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it." James 4:1-2 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
