Step Six.
12 x 12 Page 68 final paragraph until end of Step Six on page 69.

Soul work

Circle each word in your 12 x 12 and look up the meaning of:
open-mindedness
venture
haltingly
aim

Q1. If you feel you are not at all open-minded, put that on a card for your assets. And in your Quiet Time ask God what would open minded look like?

Q2. Are you going to venture into open-mindedness and daily keep asking God: ‘What new venture do you have for me today?’

We shall need to raise our eyes towards perfection and be ready to walk in that direction.

Q3. It does not say I have to be perfect. It says that I am to go towards ‘Good’ to ‘Better’ and keep on asking God to lead me to even better. Write on that. Write an example of where God had you and something was OK but then because of the venture into open-mindedness you went from better to great.

Q4. Who is in charge of your life...is it a human being or is it God?

Q5 a). The only question is: are we ready and are we willing to venture into open-mindedness?
b) What would it look like to do things a little bit differently?

Q6. Is there anything in your life about which you are saying: This I will never give up? You know it is hurting you, your relationship with God, your family and your recovery?

*There will be a workshop on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Ends.
