Recovery Thought of the Day

Step by Step and One day at a time

We need to take this step by step and day at a time to conquer this isolation of the virus. If you feel like you are in the darkness to get to the light it is done by one step at a time. Frozen II even talks about this in the movie. Anna, the sister without powers ended up in a dark place. She thought she lost Elsa and everybody she loved, before the snowman died he notice there was light at the end of the tunnel. She started to take a step in front of the other towards that light. In CR we talk about taking one day at a time to reach the light.  We also can take the same guidance in our lives during this time of isolation. We could be conquer by enjoying this time to get closer with Jesus and enjoy some quiet time with the Lord. In this world it is easy to be distracted from Him and not enjoy what we have on Earth. Darkness can be an disillusion and tell lies about who we are in Christ. For me I am finally taking the time to deep clean the house, color or draw, and focus on what the Lord wants me to do next. I am trying not to run and panic like I did in the past. I am working on patience and taking it one day at a time and enjoying every minute of it.

Questions:
What distractions have kept you from God? If you are in darkness what steps can you take to get to the light? And the steps to taking one day at a time to enjoy the moment of it?
