answer
God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.
Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.
Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.
Our circumstances answer to our expectations and the demand of our natures. -- Henry David Thoreau, The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, Volume 1
Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one’s weakness ... It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart. -- Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, January 23, 1930
In a world of prayer, we are all equal in the sense that each of us is a unique person, with a unique perspective on the world, a member of a class of one. -- W.H. Auden, Recalled on his death September 28, 1973
Yesterday I received an answer to prayer. Jeremy and Paul asked me to meet with them after they had all had a team meeting at lunch. They informed me that my last day at Essilor would be next Friday, November 21. JP is going to stay on until the end of the year, and he and Rina are going to take over some of my responsibilities. For the long-term, the group has decided to hire an additional full-time person to work on special projects. Although I'm somewhat excited by all this this morning, my first feelings were of guilt and fear -- guilt over leaving the group with projects incomplete and fear of being unemployed should Accountemps not be able to find another assignment for me soon enough. I know I've got to take it one day at a time and turn it over to the care of the God of my understanding. He's not brought me this far to drop me. Uggh, I find it so difficult to trust and have faith.
After work, I first went by my insurance agent's office to pick up my auto insurance ID card and then went down to the jail to lead an AA meeting. I then drove out to Olive Garden to meet Dad for dinner. We had a good visit, and I was surprised to learn that he was very proud of me for going back to school. I came back home and just watched some TV before going to bed.
This morning, I feel better than yesterday but am still feeling the aftereffects of smoking too much the past couple of days. God, I'm turning it all over to you. Thy Will be done.
