"Came To Believe"

This is my third try at getting this blog posted. I don't know what I did but both previous ones are lost somewhere in cyberspace. With a touch of my finger they was gone. But I have patience so am trying again.
At two of the meetings I have gone to this week the subject was "Came To Believe". It brought back memories of my own spiritual awakening. When new in recovery I did know that God was my only hope to restore me to sanity. I knew I couldn't do it. I worked the third step over and over but it seemed like nothing happened. My mind was whirling obsessively with thoughts that didn't seem to stop. I think that I didn't realize that my spiritual experience had happened because I was unable to quiet myself enough to be open to God coming into my life. So many AA's have dramatic experiences and I longed to have one, too. But, my spiritual awaking was loving, gentle and quiet. Once I recognized that God was in my life it totally changed. I saw Him everywhere at every turn of my life. Today I have a close relationship with God. I see His presence in my day to day life. I found that my relationship with God is one that I need to build just like any relationship I have with people in my life. I seek to know Him better through prayer, meditation, talking with others who are on the same journey and reading. Today, I see and experience Him daily in my life. Instead of believing in "Coincidences" I believe in "God-incidences". This new attitude really helped me to see He is activily working in my life. My life today is rich in love, peace and joy!
