I began to shiver at some of what I read here. Its like this was written for me. I mean me in particular.Ya'll have heard my past transgressions.You are watching me grow. Helping with my growth. I feel this step was just for me.I know it was for everyone, but it hit me kinda hard.I usually read the steps a couple of times, but this one.......I'm going for 4. It has been an awakening. But Again I see some of the things I have already been donig since I re-focused on my relationship with HIM. This program just expands on it. I feel anew with confidence. Anew with life and love. Why did I do those crazy things????Awnser.......to get closer to HIM. Why did I leave this site????? So HE could bring me back.
"I've been there.That's why I'm here."

Love Ya and GOD BLESS!!

Bigred,

God uses any tool and every tool He has in His tool kit to bring us back to Him! He doesn't give up. He won't give up. He fights for us, and does everything He can to get us to accept Him. That's what True Love is all about....Amazing isn't it?

So glad to see the steps touching you, and healing you. There's still more to come my friend. Let the love of Jesus just wash over you....it's so refreshing to see what He is doing in you. I see a glow about you now...thank you Jesus.

luv ya

bigred my brother :)

I luv the answers to your questions :) How true indeed. God does allow us to go thru what we do, for a bigger purpose that we can mostly never see at the time.

But when we look back, we can realize that its those things that happened to us, both good and bad, that brought us here. And the struggles were not in vain, because now you have precious seeds of truth, that you can use to help yourself and others.

Keep pushing forward my brother :) You are doing wonderfully.

One step at a time :)

Love in Him
