When I started getting my life back together I had a lot of past wreckage to repair. At first, I thought my largest challenge would be to reunite with my family, but I soon came to realize that my largest challenge was reuniting with myself. It was first an inside job. I had so much work to do on and with myself. It started with changing my mind, which isn't as easy as it sounds. It's a process. You know you want to, but how? My whole adult life had been a wreck, where exactly was I to start. As usual, I put God first, but now I was going to have to do my part too, just leaning on an outside God was not going to be enough. But once I truly had a made up mind, which was the first step and realized that my life was unmanageable and that only God living in me could restore me to sanity, if I would make this my top priority. Once done, things begin moving from my highest good. I had to learn to live for the moment. Not to think ahead or behind to just be and then do. Don't get caught up in the guild of the past nor the uncertainty of the future. But you enjoy the gift of the present that proved to be my very first challenge. Once you can do that you have to learn to live in the present as the gift that it is.
