Little acts of God.....

I never remember seeing all the tiny daily miracles that happen during the week. It's like I was never fully concious of my surroundings until I started sobriety. My sponsor spent the weekend at a silent retreat. She was searching for a deeper understanding of her higher power. When she first came into AA she did not have a higher power. Now she has chosen God as her HP. We had discussed her sprituality a few weeks ago and I asked her if she had ever read the book "The Shack". She said "no", so I loaned it to her. I told her it was an excellent read, and it might help to clear up some misconceptions she was having. Well she leaves for this retreat and decides to bring along the book. She gets there Friday night and the first father to talk tells them the whole retreat is based upon the book "The Shack". She said chills ran down her spine. She had no idea. So she read, and read, and really learned so much from the book and the speakers. She came back so excited. We talked about how God places people in your lives because things are going to happen through them. She came home with a glow and a spiritual feeling she has never known. "Bling, Bling". Another "bling, bling" moment happened to me this morning. Last night after journaling I prayed to God and handed my life and will over to him. I told him I'm sure I'll try to take it back a million times but we would take this one day at a time. I was amazed how peacful I felt when I was finished. This morning I arrived at work and started looking for some quality control data that I had misplaced. This was back up for our operations review that is coming up and for the life of me I couldn't find it. Instead of getting all freaked out and upset I remained calm, and even told the person who was asking for the data, that if I didn't find it he would have to use what was entered. It was great because I wasn't all crazy and crabby. I just kept saying in my head, "God this is out of my control, I need to know what you want me to do in this situation, if it's your will for me to find it then so be it, if not I will deal with the consequences. I sat down at my desk, grabbed some files, opened one and there was the data! Just like it had appeared seconds before I opened the file. My heart smiled, and I closed my eyes, and thanked God for his will being that I found it. Some say that's just a coincidence but I choose otherwise. It's the rythmn of the universe and what happens when you let God live inside you. When you realize that he is in control, when your ego's set aside and your eyes are opened. Now I'm beginning to think about other things that have happened, and I can see all the small miracles that have occured in the last few weeks. The best way I can explain it is through my daughter who likes to sing around the house, "Jesus loves me this I know...........
