DAY FORTY NINE ~ MEETING FORTY NINE
PRACTICING THE PRINCIPLES: COURAGE

I am exactly like the cowardly lion in The Wizard of Oz. I really can see myself on stage or on the screen in that very role. I have so many fears and it takes courage to overcome them. I shared in the meeting today about simple fears. For example, taking my kids to the park scares me because I am afraid they might do something to bother other kids and then their parents might get mad at me. See where I am going with this? It's completely silly.

I also shared about how most of the time, my fears and imagined endings to the story are way worse than what ever really happens. I have realized that it takes courage to simply be willing to try to work this program, so I do have some courage inside of me. Maybe it is making myself believe that I have the strength and courage that is the key. Maybe I do really have it, but don't recognize it? Quite a thought there and yet another thing to pray about in my long list I give to God each day.

Until tomorrow ~
I'm Kim
