The Following was not Writting by Me, but found it very Enlightening... I did "Alter" a Few Words just so it would fit our Forum... It Came from a Veteran Friends Article... Hope you all Enjoy it as Much as I did....
I've always thought that I Could get through just about Anything if HP would tell me what the outcome would be. I Believe that "All things work together for the Good in the End". But I'd do a little better in dark times if I Knew Exactly what the Good Looked Like....
But HP usually doesn't show us Where he is taking us. He just asks us to Trust Him. It's Like Driving a Car at Night. Our Headlights never shine all the way to our destination, They Illuninate only about 160 ft ahead: but that doesn't deter us from Moving Forward. We Trust our Headlights. All We really need is Enough Light to Keep Moving Forward....
HP is Like Headlights in the Dark times. It is full of Promises we need that we need to keep us from driving our lives into the ditch, by bitterness and despire... HP Promises that He Will Never Leave Us Nore Forsake Us
HP Assures us that He Knows the Plans. He Has for us plans for Wholeness & Not For Evil, To Give us a Future and a Hope. And He Tells us that Our Trials Are there to Make Us Better.... NOT Bitter...
So the Next time That you Feel LIke as If you are Driving in the Dark, Remember to Trust Your Headlights... HP Will Light the Way...
You Won't Stumble in the Dark if You Walk In the Light of Your HP........
Jozie......I Found this to be a Nice way of Remembering & Reminding Myself, its ALL about Trusting My HP, Trusting were My LIfe is Leading Me... Wether it be the "Plan" that I Had or the One that Only HP Steers... During my Recovery at times I find it difficult to just "Go With the Flow" and I Always use the Very Small, Very Suttle Quotes to Help Line me back up... Let' Go & Let God, Live & Let Live.... So this Is another one of those things were I need to Learn to "Trust" My Headlights, Sometimes the Path Before me isn't of My Choosing, but in the end, I am Exactly Were I am Ment to be, and I know that HP Helped get me there....
Thanks for Letting Me Share.... Love & Hugs & Prayers to All
Yesterday I was called into a room with my colegues at work we where told that our jobs will end in the summer. I am a single parent with two children and will be mostly affected by this. as everyone moaned and projected I had a snse of I wonder where Hp is taking me now. I do believe he has a plan for all of us my faith made this expereince less scary to me compared with others in room. I felt for them wish they knew the secret that Hp is real you just have to believe. Later on though my mind was trying to trick me into the fear, prjecting when it comes I just say came to believe came to belive and hand it over. I do beieve that faith is the back bone of this programme if we work it the blessings are a miicle thanks again
Thank you Jozie - this is exactly what I needed to hear today. In the final days of the divorce that should have happened 10 years ago... wondering how I will make it with two teenage boys, on my own, with half the income I used to have, a full mortgage to pay on my own, among the many, many other debts left behind by my ex-addict. I think I'll try turning it over, trusting my headlights! xoxoxo
