Alumni Testimonials
A lady, after having had a spiritual awakening
as the result of the twelve steps, was asked
what it was like.She replied, “it’s like being a pumpkin: God
picks you from the patch, brings you in, and
washed all the dirt off you may have gotten
from your pumpkin dreams and other pumpkins.Then He cuts the top off and scoops out all the
yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc.Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts
His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see.We Are All Pumpkins
When I meditated on the word GUIDANCE, I kept seeing
“dance” at the end of the word.I remembered reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The
movement doesn’t flow with the music, and everything is quite
uncomfortable and jerky. When one person realizes that, and
lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by
pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.My eyes drew back to the word GUIDANCE. When I saw “G,”
I thought of God, followed by “u” and “I”
“God”, “u” and “I” dance. God, you and I dance. As I lowered my head, I became
willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once
again, I became willing to let God lead. My prayer for you
today is that God’s blessings and mercies be upon you on this
day and every day. May you abide in God and God abides
in you. Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to
guide you through each season of your life.GuiDANCE
