Step 3

This is a short and sweet post all about Step 3 & my Ah Ha moment about Step 3 today.  I have been feeling like I have been bouncing between Step 1 & 2 a lot wondering if I was ready for Step 3.  I felt I need to move ahead just for the fact that I really felt I needed to conquer Steps 4 & 5 for some much needed peace.  I was reading over the Steps again today and Ah Ha !  I realized as I read Step 3 - it said nothing about turning my will over to Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ - it just said DECIDE to turn my will over.  The actual process of turning over our will, at least in my mind, happens as we continue to exercise faith & practice the Steps that follow.  It is in doing the Steps that follow Step 3 that we TURN OVER our will & start trusting in His will for us.

    Good realization! I'm always amazed at how little I have too do, and how much God takes care of. It really is all about trust.

    I think the word 'willing' is one of the most amazing words in recovery work.

    It shows up again later in Step 8. ;)
