January 2 v 9 v 10 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB

Then you will understand what is right and just
    and fair—every good path.
 For wisdom will enter your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.

STEP 3 :  Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as revealed in the Bible.

 Its one thing to know of God but it is a whole different ball of wax to know God on a personal level .We do that by committing step 3 and reading His book and involving Him in every aspect of our lives.The time is gonna come when it will be just you and Him,so don't wait til your dead.the Proverb is a promise from Him to get your life back on track and the step three is the key.My life was just that my life! I lived apart from Him deciding what I thought was best for me and what a mess I made.The addictive part of my life was spent painfully lost in loneliness always crippled with fear and rejection unable to do anything right.Why go it alone when you got the Creator of you and the world seeking a relationship with you. He gave us a book to follow and in that book is a plan for your life. A plan to prosper you to bless you with peace , joy  ,love  ,comfort , guidance and the very best He can give you.Step three for me was a no brain er !

December 31 v 8 v 9 TWELVE STEPPING WITH POWER IN THE PROVERB



Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves ,
for the rights of all who are destitute.
Speak up and judge fairly;
defend the rights of the poor and needy.

STEP 12 :Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.


Does anymore need to be said ! Myself personally it is our duty not only as Americans to defend the weak ,it is our duty to help others receive the gift that God has given us.I am talking about our sanity and sobriety.There is not a drug or drink in the world that can match the joy of freedom from addiction. The Proverb clearly describes a lot of our brothers and sisters who are still out there. Under the guidance of Gods divine nature I cruise the social media highway in search of those who cannot speak for themselves ,those who are destitute and spiritually bankrupt. For those of you who are reading this and are still trying to find your way take heed to my words.Surrender ,cry out to God He hears you never quit trying to quit , it took my mom and many sixteen years of prayer to get me free from the chains. know you are not alone and there is hope.
