Yesterday I studied about surrendering to God. Today I have about 10 minutes before I have to leave for an appointment, and I’m feeling the stresses of everything coming down on me before we leave for Wisconsin. I want to make a list of the things that are stressing me out and then break them […]

So far, it’s been a pretty good day. I didn’t really want to, but I got up and went to play basketball this morning at the Church. My game wasn’t its best, but I had a few good passes, a steal, and knocked down a couple shots. I have also showered this morning, which is […]

I started out with a prayer this morning asking Heavenly Father to help me be completely honest with where I am today in recovery. What’s on my mind? Do I have any “U’s” that I need to write about? Are there any expectations that I have for myself or for others that I need to […]

I want to study today about boundaries. Last night, Becky had a tough time: my parents are here, she feels they are always looking over her shoulder, and, in addition to that, both Chloe and Caleb actually shamed her right in front of my mom. This was hard for her. She already thinks my parents […]

In a continued study of grace, I really like this quote: Another element of God’s grace is the opening of the windows of heaven, through which God pours out blessings of power and strength, enabling us to achieve things that otherwise would be far beyond our reach.

Today has been a good day overall. Today I hit 500 days in recovery, which I’d say is a good benchmark. But today I’m living one day at a time. Yesterday was hard; I’m not sure why. It could have been a few things: I’ve been reading the SA book and it’s talking about what […]

The title says it all: “Pray, Read and Write When I Don’t Really Want To” Why don’t I want to pray, read and write today? I think part of it is because I had a bad dream. I was at a party or something with Becky and there were a bunch of other people there: […]

I’ve been listening today to a webinar about growing my online business with systems and strategy. I feel this is something I really need to do to eliminate the month to month, even day to day, stress of my business. I want to grow and I want to scale. I want to be the best […]

I don’t know what to do. I had a fun weekend with Caleb at Webelos Woods. We earned the following pins: Outdoorsman Geologist Shooting Sports Naturalist Engineer I was so surprised about how much Caleb knew about geology. He could have probably taught the class. We had a really fun time: the weather was perfect, […]

Today has been a great day so far. I woke up fairly early with Beck and we went on a 15+ mile bike ride on the river trail. We had a great talk and enjoyed the beautiful weather. I’m a little stressed right now, only due to the fact that I don’t feel very prepared […]
