I love this post.
On the ride home a...Dear Hope,<br /><br />I love this post. <br /><br />On the ride home after a Big Book study last night, a program friend asked me if I was happy with myself. <br /><br />She was asking because in the meeting we had talked about "Al-Anonisms." There was quite an extensive list of characteristics, nearly all of which I had to admit applied to me. <br /><br />My friend thought the list too negative. She wanted to focus on the positives about herself.<br /><br />What I struggled to say was much along the lines of your post here. I know I have defects of character, but I don't beat myself up about them today. <br /><br />Nor do I worry about whether and when they will be removed. I was taught that I don't get to choose. If I do what I've been taught to do in this program, then God will do for me what I can't do for myself. That he doesn't remove the defects I want him to, but those that stand in the way of my usefulness to Him and to others. <br /><br />So I'm neither happy or unhappy with myself. I am the best person I can be today. And that's enough.<br /><br />She was unconvinced. But today, I'm okay with that, too.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Kathy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266701533758183054noreply@blogger.com
