    Surrender (To a higher power)
    Description

    you everybody that tuned in and shared
    that with me
    this coming week i actually have another
    special guest on wednesday
    by the name of chris wells
    is a guy i met out in fairview oklahoma
    a few years back
    when i was
    on a different journey that didn't quite
    take but it was one of my attempts to
    get clean
    i was out there at a church
    that had offered to let me come out and
    actually live in the church for a while
    while i
    sought god and and my recovery and
    everything
    like i said i i didn't stay clean um but
    i'm forever grateful for the time that i
    had there and for the friends that i
    made
    chris has actually become an evangelist
    and the national chaplain of repented
    motorcycle ministries worldwide
    so he has a great story
    it's not too much unlike mine and like
    the rest of us you know we all have a
    lot of things in common
    so i look forward to having him here on
    wednesday and i encourage you guys to
    tune in and check it out
    you know as you guys know i'm i'm trying
    to really kind of go a different
    route once a week
    with uh new speakers and i'm just kind
    of getting the feel
    getting the feel for what this podcast
    can do in people's lives and
    hopefully give a little bit broader of a
    spectrum
    than just my own opinion of course
    and i try to do that by bringing
    different scripture and different
    commentary from certain books and
    whatnot
    but
    i'm trying to take that a little bit
    further with some new insight from some
    new people
    that have great stories and so anyways
    there was a great response so far i
    appreciate it and i think you guys are
    gonna really like this
    as always if you guys know anybody that
    could benefit from hearing my story or
    one of the other special guest stories
    or they just need encouragement to know
    that they're not alone in their struggle
    trying to recover
    point them this way and
    encourage them to be a part of this
    i was just told on friday
    that i'm actually going to be speaking
    at a group called the breakfast club in
    oklahoma city
    and i'll get back on here with some more
    details or you can hit up my facebook
    site and i'll have the details there the
    address and the time and all that so if
    you can come out and join us for the
    night it's a narcotics anonymous group
    and even though it's called the
    breakfast club is actually at night at
    8pm on wednesdays and fridays
    this week was one of those weeks where
    i was just i was trying to deal with
    some insecurities
    i had some insecurities and fears about
    a person that i've been in a
    relationship with
    and
    her beliefs were a little different than
    mine and
    given my path and what
    i see might be my future
    that scared me a little bit
    and of course as we do sometimes i
    didn't ask her opinion i didn't
    discuss it with her other than in
    passing
    i chose to take a conversation that
    could have been casual and turned it
    into a conversation that ended up with
    us breaking up and it didn't have to be
    that way
    you know the more i thought about it the
    more i reflected on that conversation
    that decision that fear that i had
    of moving forward in a relationship with
    somebody that our beliefs weren't the
    same
    the more i felt like i had been rash in
    that decision
    so of course i reached out to some
    people
    that i trust and respect and
    unfortunately for me they kind of
    pointed out that i can be a little bit
    shallow and i can be a little bit quick
    to make those decisions
    and
    they didn't say it
    directly
