to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference
Living one day at a time
enjoying one moment at a time
"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad it it."
Psalm 118:24, NIV
~~~
Actively practicing the tenth step gives me the freedom and the opportunity to actually enjoy everyday life! Moment to moment I ask God for help is seeing His will and then I try with all my might (my free-will) to follow His gentle leadings.
When I let go of my fear and my wantingness to control everything, I am happy, joyous and free.
Amazing grace how could it be? That Jesus died for me....and takes the weight of the world off my shoulders each day... Thank You, Lord.
He is worthy to be praised. Oh, how I love Jesus!
I have learned through the years that God does a much better job than I ever could.

Yes, I'd like some more of that happy, joyous, and free stuff :). Boy, God really keeps me by his side by not making this a one time fixer-upper, but a continual world of struggle followed by a surrender to Him in everything so I can be free. Lord, help me to realize that earlier than usual. Love ya Pam, Angie
I love the way I can go to the cross and be cleansed as many times a day as I need to!! That clears the way for me to walk, moment by moment, with the Lord. Now if I can just stay by his side instead of wandering off!!!
