Waking up to each new day with a feeling of being grateful is what life is all about. No matter what you are going through, having the ability to be grateful makes all the difference. We all go through changes that are sometimes unpredictable and scary. But the truth is that God never gives us more than we can handle and his plan is often way better than what we would have planned. Someone once said to me, “You wanna make God laugh? Tell him your plans.” I love that.
In recovery we learn that we have to give away control. We have to continuously give up our will to God. We know all to well that trying to do it our way doesn’t work. It’s taken me a long time to accept this fact, but I’m getting there. I don’t want to think how I used to think, I don’t want to live how I used to live, I don’t want to struggle how I used to struggle, so I give it to God and don’t worry about the outcome. I used to hate waking up in the morning. Now I love it! I’m sober, I’m happy and I’m living my dreams. I’m grateful for a new day…
