Day 1
Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2010 11:39 amI am very excited to do this study. I tried to get to know the Holy Spirit a long time ago, but I listened to too many people. They'd say I'd experience this, feel that, say this and do that. Trouble is, when none of the things people told me happened, I felt like the Holy Spirit rejected me.So I stopped seeking Him. I couldn't bear the feeling of Him rejecting me. I have carried that for years in my heart. Actually until I came here and did the 14 day step program and learned that that thought was a very bad deep weed. As I read the first step, I knew once again, I was meant to be here. I have a new beginning now. I have learned how to control the weeds in my garden and now I am learning that the Holy Spirit is really there for me. That He has been here all along. I just need to get to know Him as my best friend I could ever have. When I read that in the lesson, that He will be the best friend I ever had and He promised He would keep my deepest darkest secrets between us, oh I can't describe the love that just flooded my heart. I have been feeling like I am missing something all this time, like my heart has a big empty hole in it. Now I know what it is, it's because I don't know the Holy Spirit. He belongs there.
I can't put into words how much love I feel from God starting this first step. I really feel like how can the next steps get better than this?

Awww I think it's your relationship with the Holy Spirit that's gonna get better as you go through the steps. You are so right when you mention listening to other people instead of listening to the Holy Spirit when it comes to a relationship with Him...because people will tell you about their relationship with Him...but they can't possibly know what your relationship with Him is...because we are all different and He relates to us on our levels...and everyone is at a different level with Him in their walk...so you just keep that open mind sis...and you let Him lead you through these steps...and you grow closer to Him...and you will have the best friend you could ever have.
