For Today: January 17th

We should take care not to make the intellect our God.

Albert Einstein

My mind can easily get in my way.  It tries to be logical.  It figures out problems and thinks it has answers.  Then my life becomes chaotic.  It is only when I let go and let God that I feel serenity.  It is only when I give up that I see the answers God puts before me  It is only when I stop trying to control that my life goes smoothly.

God runs my life better than I do.  I must remember to stay out of the way.

For Today:  I accept whatever is put before me, knowing that acceptance is fundamental to spiritual growth.

**************************************

Let go & let God............that's my mantra. When I put myself in charge of my life, chaos ensues. When I allow God to run my life, I can relax a bit more and know that I'm in good Hands.

My runaway thoughts get me in trouble every single time.  I am my biggest obstacle and it's nice NOT to have the need to control the world and everybody in it!  I go through the motions by doing the footwork, staying true to my food plan, working the steps, and seeking support, and I allow God to do the rest.

For today, I surrender my life and my addiction over to God.
