Happily Ever Seeking God

The big G.O.D. Many of us when we first got sober, had a problem with God. Whether we believed or not, we were angry or not, or had just forgotten about God all together, it created issues when we were told we needed to find God again. But, maybe I should speak for myself. When I first got sober, my connection with God was non-existent. I had a lot of doubts to begin with, and I was extremely angry with God because I felt like he had abandoned me. Maybe that’s why I had doubts, because every time I prayed for Him to get me out of whatever mess I had gotten myself into, and He didn’t, then I was forced to “not” believe. But I’ve learned since then, that’s not really how it works. I have been able to establish my own conception of God, and that has grown…

I noticed on the back of an ambulance the other day that had the inscription "in God we trust". I personally have that on my license plate (no hesitation with picking that one).

I feel like the question I ask so often on here is "where do you see God or feel God?" Because seeing is believing, right? What I don't think about as much is actually listening for God (plus most likely I haven't stopped talking myself so it's a little harder to hear anything haha). I've had such a hard time (at times) over the years distinguishing between my voice (and what I want) vs God's. But what I can tell you is I've been hearing Him lately. Really truly hearing Him. I'm listening. I hear Him say He's proud of me. I have heard Him recently tell me to REST. And that's the okay thing to do. The other day I was so exhausted and started to beat myself up for wanting to lay down while all the kids took an afternoon nap (normally that's the time where I have…
