my daily reflections…

it is beneficial to me today to keep my priorities in life clear and concise. i have to define them in such a manner that there is no possible way for me to try to wrangle around with em placin me over them. when i keep them explicit and terse, characterized in an order that i may act in accordance with thoroughly, im givin a path and direction to follow. faith isnt such a difficult thing to specify and i can rely on what i find through the spirituality i choose to live by. when back in the days of doin my dirt i would place faith in material, financial, or emotional guessin games, today i understand i can ill afford to make such faustian bargains. my HP has a way of expressin Himself in diverse ways that i must pay attention to. not always does He make the expected or wanted expression, He comes and speaks to me through people, through events, or through unanticipated ways. whichever way He may come, after the experience He provides me, when in quiet contemplation, i get to see His will in whatever happened, providin me the lesson He needed me to learn. keepin Him my first priority, followed by recovery, then service toward others, i get to live with peace of mind and balance. emotional, psychological, behavioral, and spiritual health come from settin and livin by such a sterlin list of priorities. by keepin my mind, heart, body, and soul upon the path that leads upward, my walk, in companionship with God along the way, gives me the strength, courage, and direction i need to live. interactin with His will, listenin to it as it may come from any direction, i get to live with those around me without the drama i used to have to constantly create. His ultimate authority doesnt allow me to live beyond the humility and integrity i must keep. trouble only comes when i get in the way of my priority list. its always just one more way to get people to pay attention to me, and ive learned that when i lose my need for that, the drama magically stops findin me. overreaction is taxin, commiseration isnt helpful, playin the victim is useless. i dont need self to either create or perpetuate problems to prove im alive. i aint gotta have or do everythin, nor do i have to isolate. life has limits, so i have to make choices and decisions that help to keep me perseverin. 1 day @ a time...
