Finding Peace: Buddy C’s 5-Minute Meditation on 'Our Lives' in Step 3
One of the real blessings of the program was that I was able to turn all of these things over to the care of God. That stressed me so much, because I tried to orchestrate life, mostly to either hold on to these things or to get something that I wanted I did not have. It was really fear. All of my life was about orchestrating to keep my fears at bay. And what a relief when I realized I could turn all of this over to God's care, all of this life.
