Surrender in Recovery
December 12, 2022 Dear God, good morning. I was in a meeting this morning, and we discussed the third step in our literature. I know that it took me forever to surrender to your will. Maybe thirty-five years, and that’s a lifetime. I would not believe in you because my biological body abused me. It was a painful childhood. My mother would beat us senselessly with our father’s belt buckle. And my father would sexually abuse my sista Denise and me. We had to stand up near the bed and rub my biological father’s back, and his boom boom (ass) as he watched the Celtics play basketball. I was only…

Love and Adversity
May 26, 2022 Good morning, dear God, Yesterday was intense. Today the scripture speaks about “Love.” According to “The Life Recovery Bible,” writes “Love is patient and kind.

Emotionally Unstable
May 16, 2022 Dear God, good morning. Yesterday I felt emotionally unstable. Then, Maire, my neighbor, came up to see me, and I just cried on her shoulder. Marie is a very lovable, caring, and funny woman. And she said that when I feel better, we’re going power walking. She’s so tiny, and it’ll be fun walking with her. The reading from God’s promises for every day writes, “Jesus is your Lord” I doubted you, Jesus, yesterday because I was depressed, and I’m sorry. I was in so much pain. Gary secretly called Terri. He told her that I was struggling. Well, she hung up on him and called…

I felt a warm feeling all around my body and I stopped crying. I really can’t explain it, except it was for real! It happened so fast. You were there with me then you were gone. God’s Promises for every day state: “The Son of Man came to find…

God is the Answer
May 9, 2022 Dear God, good morning again. It is four in the morning. I went to sleep at eight. Yesterday, I saw Fernando, and we went to Macy’s to buy dress pants for him.
