This blog is a directive from God. To one who has received much; much is expected. So, today I surrender to the urging of God to share healing I have received through the guidance of God through life experience, practice of the 12 Steps of Recovery and through my studies of the Bible and wisdom as presented to me from others that God brings into my life.

Free Emotionally Healthy Quiz
Last week I took a quiz. Can't recall the original topic search that brought me to the Internet...but so thankful that God led me to this opportunity for self awareness. The quiz designed to inventory emotional and spiritual maturity: http://www.dieperdinge.com/musings/?p=82 (see link at bottom of read).
This was an answer to a prayer...to find a tool to help with awareness of how I have grown as well as alert to ways that I could continue to grow (if I chose to do so). Today, I choose to grow. Took the test...found that in roughly 50 percent of the categories, I was evaluated as "mature"; in other categories, the evaluation was "adolescent". I rejoiced!! Celebrated my growth and asked God to help continue my maturation process. One area where I'm in need of growth is learning to know my limits.
Since taking this test, I have been presented with the opportunity to realize and accept limits with recovery work and that I need to hold close to the slogan "easy does it"; limits with physical work (not accepting more than I can handle...I need time to enjoy life); and limits with exercise (it's a great idea to slow down, BEFORE I start to feel nauseated).
In short, God has used this evaluative tool to help me become aware of how I have grown, as well as how I can grow. With new found awareness, I'm choosing to take actions towards change.
Are you willing to take the inventory to see what it reveals? And, if you are willing to take the inventory, are you also willing to, one day at a time, allow God celebrate with you on growth as well as accept His help in continuing your healing journey?
