Twenty One

Just the awe of it is overwhelming.  Not Gods' limitless abilities of course, but that he would show up so faithfully every single day.

It's a sweet morning to wake up on my sober birthday.  Twenty one years and still surprised by it all.  I stand as a witness that "God could and would if he were sought." 

I do not take this day lightly.  I am consumed with gratitude and joy.  I am not the woman I was. 

So many people say they have worked their ass off to get and stay sober but that is not my story.  I know what work is and this journey has been nothing but showing up each day and thanking God for his mercy and grace.  OK, maybe trying to please God and figure out his will for me everyday can sometimes feel like work but then I remember that self centered crack head with one goal in mind.....to get high no matter what the pain was to anyone around me.

It is a good day to be sober.  Be kind to Gods children, he loves us so.
