 From the Daily Word: 
STRENGTH
I have inner strength.

As I embark on any new endeavor, the excitement of a fresh start can be exhilarating. Sticking with it, however, requires that I develop the spiritual faculty of strength and use it daily.

Whether I am adopting a new healthy habit or leaving an unhealthy one behind, raising a child or starting a new job, I remain steadfast. Obstacles may arise and I may experience my motivation waning, but my inner strength carries me through regardless of any obstacles. I meditate and invite in new awareness. I listen for guidance from within, while affirming my strength and resilience.

The spirit of God within me is my source of spiritual strength. In God consciousness, I overcome any challenge and experience the joy of success.

The Lord is my strength.--Psalm 28:7



For  all who need it, I hope the above gives you some help.

"Thank You"

This has been so very true for me....I think part of why I am tired is I haven't the adrenalin rush from when we first quit - that is okay though - just observing to stay strong....not complaining.

This time I surrender my addiction and my obsession daily to God; it has made the difference for me.

I have had my struggle days, BUT I am choosing to remember my FREEDOM days too!!!  Trying to keep it in perspective.....remembering it is hard to quit, and yet celebrating the positives and the quit!

 ChinHi!  I have missed you!  Wow, over 10 years quit, you go, girl!

Thank you for this post, Eve, it definitely helped me, I think I had forgotten the truth of this, and it was part of why I lost my way.  But I am so thrilled to be back on the right path again.  

Thank you, sweet lady :)

Hi Chinny,

This is so beautiful ,For me when I am in God consciousness when I say in my mind ; repeatedly

( I am in God as I move and breathe ) 

Sometimes I just say this over and over again in my head and it helps me to stay focused on God.

Your awesome Lady!!   Miss you & Love and prayers always.

Thank you also for your sweet note in my journal last week. 

Today we can choose Not to smoke!!     :-)      Hugss


Serenity is peace within the storm.

Keep On Keepin On ~!!! Shashaaa aka Tricia Smober date ,,, 2/14/2008 ~ Will be Grr**8
