my daily reflections…

yesterday as we were ridin around lookin for a place to live in more permanently, i thought of how faith without works is dead. it was fun ridin around our new location in the sun with the windows down. we got to see a lot of the area and start markin landmarks that stuck with us, creatin our bearins. we drove around and looked at a few places we thought would be nice to live in and found some that werent so outstandin. we talked to a couple of realtors and explained what we were doin, why we made the move, and what we were hopin to find. toward the end of the day i was feelin a little defeated. it was our first real look into the area, and i had set my expectations high. well, ya’ll know about expectations. then it dawned on me, we didnt sit at the place we are stayin at lookin at web pages, we werent sittin there starin at a laptop, we had done that the day before. we were out beatin the streets, lookin for our next place to live relyin on God to help us. we were puttin our faith in God, while out puttin in the footwork to find what we are lookin for. these were places we wanted, and todays search will continue in the same manner. i reckon what im tryin to say is that much like this mornins daily reflection, though i could not feel or see it, we were doin what we were posed to. it was simple, not easy, just like much of my recovery. i can imagine much of any of the negative feelins that may have crossed me yesterday or may today wont be a factor in 6 months. but this experience i wont forget. as i continue to do what is the next right thing, things will work out for us in our new adventure. what my task today is, is to do what the 24hr TFTD said, rely on the lifeline of my faith in Gods power. when i do this, i cant be overwhelmed. i must trust this lifeline and never be afraid. He will save me from the cares and troubles of my life. if i look to God for help and trust Him for aid when i am emotionally upset, He will guide me if i let Him. i reckon, the music happens between the notes, so to speak. His messages are everywhere, all i have to do is continue to communicate and listen. ive learned that faith makes the impossible possible. 1 day @ a time...
