A "Limitless Lode"

Like a gaunt prospector, belt drawn in over the last ounce of food, our pick struck gold. Joy at our release from a lifetime of frustration knew no bounds. Father feels he has struck something better than gold. For a time he may try to hug the new treasure to himself. He may not see at once that he has barely scratched a limitless lode which will pay dividends only if he mines it for the rest of his life and insist on giving away the entire product.

You will never give birth to something that doesn't grow in you. Church and a relationship with God was embedded in me since a child, but it was not until I found recovery that I was ready and willing to have God work in me. When I found recovery I began to see a new life growing in front of me. It became a Purpose driven change. Something that is life changing you want to share. When you catch a vision you bring people with you, you share it. The joy in a change in your life that you can share what you once felt with the tears and the excitement of the new love in your life.

I was not accustomed to anything but chaos and self inflected wounds in my life. I remember waking up in my sober living house one morning and realized I was not afraid to wake up anymore. It was an "aha moment". I didn't realize I woke up in fear every day. I used to wake up every morning and would be afraid of what turmoil I would face in my toxic marriage. I didn't realize how much I lived in fear and chaos until I chose sober living. To wake every morning with a smile and to thank God for my fearless day and keeping me sober that day was the most uplifting feeling I had ever felt. I had become accustomed to fear now I began to become accustomed to love.

How can you take what God has done to in your life and spread it to others? I have been given a new life of love, recovery, sobriety and a passion to smile and to give back to others what I have received. What is your purpose? Share your passion.
