False starts are a beginning, and that’s really all we have to commit to, because the Holy Spirit will move right in and help us take the next step. ~ Casey , Karen. 52 Ways to Live the Course in Miracles: Cultivate a Simpler, Slower, More Love-Filled Life (Kindle Locations 464-465). Red Wheel Weiser. Kindle Edition.
The Big Book of AA says it a different way:
“What seemed at first a flimsy reed,
has proved to be the loving
and powerful hand of God.”
We come with powerlessness
the only thing we’ve conquered,
but that’s all we need. When we admit
we cannot manage life
and make a token effort…
even acting as if we believe
or borrowing someone else’s
higher power, we can reach out,
submit our desperation,
and as soon as we are willing
and honest enough to try,
miracles begin to happen!
