What's in your heart?... 

We all have this autopilot inside of us that handles our daily routine functions. 


Breathing and walking are the obvious ones but what about those expected and meaningless interactions? 


You know, like the store clerk or that same person you see daily in the hall or gym? 


You have no emotional connection to them. 


They say "How are you doing? " And you say "fine" with no thought or effort.  


Now what about when you need to either forgive someone or let go of something emotionally or pride fully? 


Do you find yourself mouthing the words of the correct or expected response yet keeping your imagined control of it in your heart? 


Perhaps that's why we stay needlessly hurt or angry. 


We lock that thing in our heart yet act like it's gone. 


God can fix that, but we must open our hearts and let go for real.  


Check your experience.


"...he should understand that he must undergo a change of heart." Big Book pg. 143 


Lord let us open our hearts to be filled with your Spirit and healed by your grace, AMEN.  


"I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts." Isaiah 57:15 


Have a blessed day Y'all!  


Join me in looking at the things we face daily with passages from both the Big Book and Bible!

Our tricky minds…

Sometimes when I let my mind wander, it tries to take me down the path of doubt. 

If I permit this “stinkin’ thinkin’” to continue then the path widens to include worry, fear, and ultimately negativity all fueled from my own self-will. 

What helps me during these times is to remember that the answers are not in my head and that I am no longer in charge of me. 

When I made the life changing decision to turn my will and my life over to God, HE became not only my “Employer” but also my mentor, guide, and rock. 

I have learned to stay out of my own head and not go there by myself because it is filled with fear-based illusions fueled by the worldly clamors around us. 

God has us covered. 

He not only has us here for a purpose, but also, HE has a plan for us that we can easily understand if we seek His will daily. 

Check your experience… 

“We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept close to Him and performed His work well. Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans, and designs.” Big Book pg. 63 

Lord, let us know in our hearts that You have a purpose and a plan for us that will keep us secure, successful, serene, and covered by Your grace, AMEN. 

“God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing.” Ephesians 2:10 

Have a blessed day Y'all!
