Dandelion's Den: MY SIDE OF THE STREET

Being in recovery is basically a lifelong class in session. Everything turns into a lesson. At the women's candlelight meeting last night, one of the young ladies shared how no matter how well she's doing in recovery it's just not good enough for her husband. Also being a stay at home mom for the last seven years, has her feeling like she needs to put her recovery on hold to raise the kids.

I shared with her how I used to think that I was responsible for other peoples' feelings. We do what we can and that's all we can do. Our side of the street is clean. Their resentments, anger or whatever's got them all wound up, can only being changed within them. We are responsible for our own feelings. Then I told her how I was in rehab during all three of my kid's birthdays and at first I felt like a real loser. But the other ladies, my recovery sisters, help me to see that I was giving them the best gift I could...a healthy mother :)

The following is for my own accountability. Those of you who wish to join me feel free. You can never get enough spiritual food...ENJOY!!! This is the first year I'm reading the Word cover to cover. If I can read a 500 page novel in a week, surely I can read my 2200 pg bible in 52 weeks!! Daily reading schedule example:

1st of the month read:

Proverbs 1,

Psalms 1,

Psalms 31,

Psalms 61,

Psalms 91,

Psalms 121

~*Proverbs and Psalms read ENTIRELY by the end of each month*~

My yearly schedule is based on WWW.BibleGateWay.com

Before I begin my study I make sure my heart is right with prayer and worship.

I ask Him to give me Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge and Discernment.

If He leads me somewhere else before I actually study...so be it...I want more of HIM
