Lavida's Late Checkin Fri. 8/3
The joy of the Lord is my strength.
I went to the Heavenly Bank in prayer earlier and asked for help with my finances ... my HP gave me the reminder that I had money coming to me from a dental claim that was submitted ... but unfortunately I never got the check because insurance went to Cobra which I didn't pay for or sign up for yet, due to ... (say it all together now) my notorious procrastination. I had the papers sitting here for probably 6 weeks at least! Now to get the coverage backdated, I'll have to pay $120 that I don't have right now, and I have only a few weeks left to do it. Had I not put this off, I'd have that check and would be able to pay the rent right now!!!! :(
Oh well ... such is the life of an avoidant in recovery ...
Still, I was amazed that this insight/reminder came to me in prayer. Because it just wasn't registering in my brain that I could have used that money for rent all along.
Today I succeeded in applying for another freelance job that is low-paying but would be easier and more fun than the writing I'm doing now. That looks to be at least 2 more weeks though till I even find out if I get it.
So I'm stuck writing. In better mood and soul feels energized though so I'll do my best.

(a)
That we were alcoholic and could not manage our own lives.
(b)
That probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism.
(c)
That God could and would if He were sought.
elvira's evening
This evening I will
do some more to demolish my raised flowerbedprobably about half-way there nowdo a bit more in the kitchen - at least clean the sandwich-toasterdid the ordinary toaster, the top of the microwave and the worktop under and behind the microwave tootidy away the clothes in the living roomnearly didn't do that, but got myself to do it by saying I couldn't go to the loo until I had! Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'microburst'...I am so thankful I found this site.
clement ci - "What will lead me on the path to *real* joy?"
came here now cuz i was stuck.
Not wanting to use the tools that i know will work, cuz i feel too defeated.
But i did manage to come here--barely--pretty much assuming it would not help.
But that line of that poem
> What will lead me on the path to *real* joy?
that really struck me. Getting my assignments at work done will not give me *real* joy just satisfaction. OTOH knowing that i am doing god's will for me at the moment--that knowledge--would give me *real* joy, no matter what the task was.
That directs my path today. First i will re-connect with god. Then i will proceed to do my tasks under the umbrella of his will, knowing that god directs my paths. The God of all love and all knowledge and all wisdom.
