my daily reflections…

even as my will gets in my way, even after startin each day with spiritual readins, prayer, and meditation before i even leave my home and move out into the world, i can still get wrapped up in self and live out my will usin it as a battle ax against others w/out even realizin it. thats why it is so important that i start each day as i do. it allows me to collect a couple spiritual principles, allows me to get in touch with my HP, and ask him for right direction. this time of spiritual tune-up helps me listen for His intuitive wisdom on how i may live out the couple of spiritual principles ive gleaned from my daily readins. when i start to get irritated, i remember the spiritual principles i read in the mornin and confidently try to live them and apply them to the situation im havin a problem with. this has the most soothin and calmin effect on me. its like a split second spot-check on character, honesty, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, and humility. it lets me know i have no control cept only on me. idk what His will may be specifically, but im quite sure agitation, intolerance, hatred, anger, or meanness, isnt the way He would have me live the circumstance through. it is my perception that a cool headed, smartly used, effect of, or practiced use of patience, tolerance, kindliness, and love, is how He would have me behave. surely i get the opportunity to live my individuality any way i may like, but i feel that if i want to persevere with what recovery has taught me, i need to practice what i understand are principles with which i have learned through recovery. livin in the now, i get to remain alert for new sights and opportunity to capitalize on usin His omnipotence. forgiveness, hope, and love may offer another much, but the rewards i receive from them become more than a feelin, with a thousand tiny acts of kindness toward another. 1 day @ a time...
