Faith Lesson

I was asked last Sunday to prepare a church lesson for my 13 year old daughter's Sunday School Class. I accepted without knowing the lesson. I have mixed feelings about teaching her class and honestly, I've declined teaching it before. But I without hesitation this time accepted.

So... this week in OA I've been working on step 2. Studying, praying, meditating, reflecting and truly trying to understand my relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ. I've read the BB and the 12 and 12 and over and over it comes back to FAITH!!!

Imagine my great surprise, when I opened the lesson manual this morning and the lesson that I am giving is on FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ. I couldn't believe it really. So, this morning I've been studying the church lesson and made this worksheet for her class:

God works in amazing ways. It has been truly miraculous for me this week to focus on my relationship with Him. I was also able to go to my first ever LDS version of AA last night. It was very helpful, and I would honestly love to somehow be able to attend 2 meetings a week. One OA and one through the church. The meeting last night reminded me that I've been in alcohol recovery for nearly 8 years (2 minor binge relapses to get it COMPLETELY out of my system). I have had absolutely NO desire to drink or get drunk.
