A Defining Moment (from David)

David sent me this blog post. It is dated October 4, 2009.

A friend sent me a book of word games/puzzles. Things like crosswords, but usually with a twist. One of them provides the word and you have to fill in the definition using a given list of words. Some of the words seem to fit, but as I fill in the rest of the definitions, it's obvious it is close, but wrong. I just couldn't make my definition work. It wasn't what the author had in mind. I step back and take another look and try again. In recovery, this seems to play out as well. Even though I think I know what is supposed to happen, or at least what I want to happen, it may not be what the Author has in mind. As with the word puzzle, I have to step back, and try again. Taking a few minutes to listen to that still, small voice inside to guide me. I also need to ask others for help. Admit that I don't have all the answers. I've been known to have problems with this. Just ask Lisa. Today I can, and do admit I need help and don't know it all. Not all the time, but I work to be humble and teachable. In my current position, that is not that difficult. So, rather than try to make up my own answers, I think I'll rely on the original Author, God, to help me define things. Maybe I am learning after all.

God bless,
David
