I believe though that God is.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342059404705923684.post-73154221574543311092009-05-31T16:57:12.561-06:002009-05-31T16:57:12.561-06:00Glad to have multiple sources for guidance.Glad to have multiple sources for guidance.Scott Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361224878660334532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342059404705923684.post-60693678901419981972009-05-30T16:37:05.853-06:002009-05-30T16:37:05.853-06:00Following Direction: On this topic I have (finally...Following Direction: On this topic I have (finally) information. My "guidance" comes, of course, from God--but God does NOT speak directly to me. I'm not Moses, nor Adam, nor Martin Luther, certainly not the Maid of Orleans.<br /><br />God speaks to me primarily though Peeps. You talk. I listen. In the past 20 minutes I have been talking to my sponsor about a gnawing, nagging, ongoing problem of the "personal" variety. <br /><br />Finally we came to an impasse, as he told me, "I do not think I can help you here...you have been sober 35 years, so YOU decide."<br /><br />At last I said to him, "Don, YOU tell ME what to do, whether to go or not." He said quickly "Don't go!"...and we hung up, End of conversation. <br /><br />To me, God had spoken, and I am relieved of the burden (which had been weighing HEAVILY on me, BTW).<br /><br />And I an kneeling right now, praising God Who, in His mercy, sent me this man through whom God speaks to me. <br /><br />I shall go to a meeting tonight, and hopefully find someone who needs to hear my message, my experience, or maybe just my ENTHUSIASM for this program!<br /><br />Peace, Ed.steveronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17498524940140288735noreply@blogger.com
