"I can't do His will my way." - Starr S.
WE MADE A DECISIONIt is nice that they chose to use the word "We" to start our
steps. It was comforting to know that I wasn't alone in this;
that others were with me. I was taught that a decision only
implies action. A decision has nothing to do with taking action.
It is the preparation for the action. The question was put to me:
"If 3 frogs were on a log, and 2 of them decided to jump off,
how many would be left?" My answer was 1. I knew my math. My
sponsor said I was wrong. 3 would be left; they only decided to
jump. This caused me to begin thinking about the steps on a more
serious level. I was staying clean. I wanted to feel better. I
was not certain how making a decision to turn my will over would
help me to recover. It took some willingness on my part to
develop the strength to listen with my heart. My head was ready
to take over my life. My sponsor said it would be better to slow
down and let God catch up with me. On his suggestion and
experience I made the decision.
"The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice". -
