Vacation from Hell with Pending Hidden Blessings

Yeah...(AGO) Lee is very aware of all the phases & symptoms of the Relapse Progression, Gorski-style!! Definately on guard and taking action. Scary thing, ain't it?

Anyway, here's the gift I got yesterday-went to a Collin Raye concert and he sang this (just for me?)

 

What I Need

(Karen Taylor-Good/Jason Blume)

I knew all the answers
The way my life should go
And when I used to say my prayers
I would tell God so
It seemed He wasn't listening 
I thought He didn't care
But lookin' back
It's plain to see
He was always there

'Cause I prayed for strength 
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

I'm not sayin' that it's easy
Or that it doesn't hurt
When nothing seems to go my way
Nothing seems to work
These days I'm getting better
At goin' with the flow
Accepting that sometimes the answer 
To a prayer is no

'Cause I prayed for strength 
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
In time a better one was opened in its place

I prayed for strength 
And I got pain that made me strong
I prayed for courage
And got fear to overcome
When I prayed for faith
My empty heart brought me to my knees
I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Oh I don't always get what I want
I get what I need

Thanks everyone, for the love & support...feeling a bit better & working on my "attitude of gratitude".

Isn't it amazing that soooo many people arrive back home with the same awareness.
We are powerless and new a power greater than ourselves.  I'm amazed.   Good
