Living Proof

Today was pretty awesome. I’m definitely feeling better. Woke up at 5:30 a.m. and hit the gym. Ran to the Dollar Tree and got Ms. Teresa a card for her birthday. It was purple and said ‘Queen’ on the outside. I don’t write this to take credit for any of my life per se. Each day I repeat that all good is of God. Everything is of his creation and all good is by his hand. So please don’t think I’m gloating. Plus, if I have off days where something feels amiss, I can recall what I did and what worked. I digress (what I do best) and was late for class by a bit. Afterward Kaylee rode with me to pick up Carlie who had walked all the way from Callier Forest. It’s incredible how truly difficult it is to get into a recovery program, let alone be successful in it and the lengths to which such as she would go to get there. Of course, she didn’t make class but I picked her up already in West Rome, which is super impressive. On top of this clear demonstration, she was denied transportation by the van drivers so for a third day I will provide 🙂 Would I not want someone to do the same for me? Mind you, there is a definite archaic part to my brain that says very negative comments toward constant selflessness but overall when I balance well enough all of it I find the concept of the golden rule coming to fruition in my life. We attended Brooklyn and Jamison’s new All Ladies group for Thursdays at 1:30 at Living Proof. There was a real good turn out too. I’m thankful for each soul there today. I lift them all up to you Lord. Only you truly know their hearts, their needs. Fulfill your will in their lives for the furthering of your Kingdom! I felt the holy spirit something fierce during that meeting, especially when Jamison spoke. We even all joined hands and prayed outside Living Proof with all the whizzing cars of Shorter Avenue we may have well as been floating in the clouds with Kaylee’s heartfelt prayer. God you are amazingly awesome, incredibly omnipotent, and forever the winner of your great play. I am honored to be a protagonist for once, honored to love and feel love. I delivered an SUV full of ladies around afterward. I do have one heck of a druggie buggy, thank you Lord. Upon returning Carlie across town she confesses she has a heart condition to which only 1/3 of her heart remains functioning. Not to go too in detail, but she requires serious meds that she has been out of for some time. We arrange a doctor’s appointment for after class tomorrow, thankfully able to schedule so quickly. Again much respect to the most high God. It’s really incredible just how much suffering and seclusion their is not only in addiction, but as we discussed today, in homelessness also. God only knows how much we all truly suffer for our health. This young girl is a beautiful, fragile soul and I lift her up especially to you God. Heal her. Allow me to witness such splendor.
