Day 849

My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. When we surrender to God, most of the time all we focus on is what we are giving up, not what we are getting.  We don't realize that what we are getting is much better than what we are giving up.  Letting go and letting God, seems like such a simple concept, but the reality is much more difficult.  It is a daily, sometimes a minute by minute choice.  But giving our troubled lives up to someone who sees the big picture when we don't, should make sense. But of course if doesn't to our feeble minds.  We have to be in control, or at least I think I need to be.  There goes selfish ME again.  So once again, I have to give it back to God.  It's a vicious circle. But He always takes me back.  That's all I have for today.  Have a great one!
