Regularly, we become aware of new needs. We may need to change our behavior with our children. We may need a new couch, love and nurturing, a dollar, or help.
Do not be afraid to recognize a want or need. The birth of a want or need, the temporary frustration from acknowledging a need before it's met, is the start of the cycle of receiving what we want. We follow this by letting go, then receiving that which we want and need. Identifying our needs is preparation for good things to come.
Acknowledging our needs means we are being prepared and drawn to that which will meet them. We can have faith to stand in that place in between.
Today, I will let go of my belief that my needs never get met. I will acknowledge my wants and needs, then turn them over to my Higher Power. My Higher Power cares, sometimes about the silliest little things, if I do. My wants and needs are not an accident. God created me and all my desires.

Our pasts are perfect in a way our minds can never fully understand. We would not have the opportunities for awakening and experiencing that are ours today, without exactly what happened. Now, it's what we do with our pasts that provides the opportunity for growth. Today, spend some time thinking about the gifts in your past that you may have overlooked.

AA Thought of the Day / Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the fellowship of the spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the road of happy destiny. May God bless you and keep you until then. / AA, pg 67


"For all of you who want to walk a spiritual path, I suggest you stop and take a look at all the things you think and all the assumptions that you make... before you speak. Try some discipline and see if you can, for a whole week, just watch your thoughts."
Hinono

What happens to you is not as important as what you make of it. To find peace, reframe your opinion of how you or life "should" be. You are, and have been, on your right path. What you thought was wrong with you may be what is right with you.
Alan Cohen

It comes down to a moment-to-moment choice to serve the highest good. It is not enough to do it just once today and figure that is it. Keep choosing the highest good.
John Morton


“What does it take for your soul to dance with God? An eager spirit, a flexible heart and a willingness to let God take the lead in the dance!”
Greg Barrette


God is love. And will is thought. So, God's will is loving thought.
Marianne Williamson

One seeks God in books; one finds him in prayer.
