When my mentor told me to learn from the lesson of David vs Goliath; I didn’t know what to expect.
For 3 months at work, I let God fight the battle for me. I stop depending on myself. I had to practice complete trust and surrender to God daily, and accepting any thing that God give me.
It was a blessing in disguise!
I had to practice complete trust and handing over my will and life over to the care of God all the way at work. I didn’t know I was practicing step 3 in recovery.
I have done it long enough to see the similarities in the feeling and emotion I had at work and in recovery.
I have learnt that trusting God and accepting anything that God gives me at work was the same as living life on life ‘s term in recovery.
I didn’t expect the lesson I learn in David vs Goliath help me strengthen my understanding of step 2 and 3 in 12 steps recovery.
Step 2; came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity
Step 3; made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God.
I have struggle to live life on life ‘s term in recovery for 12 years.
I am very happy to learn what it mean for me to live life on life’s term now, it was about accepting any thing that God give me.
I can remain peaceful, calm, grateful and contented while practicing tolerant, patient, love and commitment all the way.
I do not need to panic and become impulsive, I do not need to change anything. I do not need to take over the control of the steering wheel, I only need to have strong faith that everything will be fine and learn to accept the things I cannot change.
I only need to trust God. Amen!
