Got a call yesterday in the afternoon from a man telling me my daughter was in an accident and I needed to come right away. He said she was ok, cuts and bruises, just scared to death. Totally her fault, she's just 17 and driving for 7 months, and she is feeling horrible physically and emotionally. Thank God she was ok, and the other people were not seriously hurt but both cars were mangled beyond repair. Now she says she understands why I tell her to be careful and not tailgate and pay attention everytime she leaves the house. Today is a day I need to ask my higher power to carry my troubles and lift them off my shoulders, it is much to heavy for me to carry alone. Thanks for listening.
Oh I learned to ask my HP not to only carry my troubles and to also carry me lots of times. Often when I offered my trouble up without trying to take them back I was still left with myself and nothing to do other than to be a magnet for more.
I've got those phone calls also and my Mom and Dad got them concerning me too and my brothers and sister. We weren't bad it was life on life's terms and that means HP always.
My worse nightmare was marrying an addict and when that went south going on to marry another later on. All my nightmares (tons of them) went away when I started getting and then practicing this program.
