Not staying idle, yesterday I began looking at Step 6. Hummm…

“Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.”

 

That’s nice; one just has to get ready and willing then let God have his way.

It’s not like I have to remove this “stuff” by myself, though the step does teach me to firmly turn my back on the old self-destructive behaviors and make every effort to act and live by God’s principles.

 

Truthfully I’ve tried for years to change things about myself that needed worked on and slowly, through God’s guidance, I’ve been led me down the yellow brick road of growth and change. So God’s does it, I just have to cooperate.

I think I can keep on that route, knowing God is driving.

           

Ha! Old Tobit was really taking a hit from his wife in this morning’s scripture.

He was a good man, but apparently could be an old growley bear at home. Most of us, if we are honest, (which, by the way, is KEY to Step 6)

know that it is with the people we love and trust the most where we let our hair down and sometimes are not as helpful,

appreciative or attentive as we could be.

That’s being nice. We too can be growley bears at home.

           

So I guess it’s about getting willing and turning to God saying, “Have at it, God, mold me and make me…”

 

            It’s a rough ride with you sometimes, God. Grin…But the scenery is great and I love the companionship.

Have at it…I may be holding on kind of tight

but I’m willing.
