August 20 CHP 88 v 6 v 7 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALM

You have laid me in the lowest pit, In darkness , in the depths Your wrath lies heavy upon me, and you have afflicted me with all your waves . (GODS BIG BOOK)

STEP 3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God .

This verse reminds me of all the times I dug myself a hole and thought I am never gonna get out of this one. I discovered that is where God does His greatest work . My Pastor calls them valleys and in one of those valleys I spent a large portion of my life. Exhausted and broken is where I found myself and I realized this valley is gonna kill me or change me . The walls in a valley are steep and climbing them without ropes is impossible ! I was so hard headed and prideful that I did not need ropes , I will keep scratching , climbing , and crawling I will get out of here. Years I spent doing just that !One day , laying on the valley floor tired , alone , and afraid , I looked up and saw the Son lowering a rope , in a soft voice He said FOLLOW me ! Out of the valley I came ,and into His marvelous light ! 

John 14 - 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

When used properly, these medicines can provide cough and cold relief, but can cause dangerous side effects when taken in larger doses than recommended.
