Do the Deal

At one semester, my nephew made terrible grades at school.  I mean, almost all of them were either D or F. Now, he is very intelligent, fast to learn something new and has excellent reading comprehension.  So I asked him what was going on?  He said, "Aunt Carol, I already know everything the teachers' are trying to teach me.  So what's the point in getting a grade?"  

I answered, "It's not so much what we know...it's what we do with what we know."

Recovery seems like that to me.  I can know all I want...but it's what I do with what I know that makes the biggest difference for me.  It's when I apply what I know, do the work, do the deal...then I am producing.  

Dear GOD, thank YOU for this day, this breath.  I pray only for knowledge of YOUR will and the courage, strength, wisdom and the Willingness to Accept it and to Do it.  In Jesus Christ's name, I pray.  Amen.  Love, Carol xoxox
