Will I end up being a Nun?

Or a missionary in Africa?
Or someone who wears sandals and carries a tambourine?
Or someone who wears a lot of beige and is a tad..dull?
Or someone who sits at home on a Saturday night reading Spiritual Books?

...er.. not unless you reckon doing ANY OF THOSE THINGS would make you
happy, joyous, and free..

So basically.. no.
(Phew!)

Unless of course you REALLY LIKE that kind of thing.
Each to their own and all that..

We are SURE
God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.

Step Three Promises

Chapter 5. HOW IT WORKS page 63
When we sincerely took such a position,
all sorts of remarkable things followed.
We had a new Employer.
Being all powerful,
He provided what we needed,
if we kept close to Him and performed His work well.
Established on such a footing
we became less and less interested in ourselves,
our own little plans and designs.
More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life.
As we felt new power flow in,
as we enjoyed peace of mind,
as we discovered we could face life successfully,
as we became conscious of His presence,
we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter.
We were reborn.

This was only a beginning,
though if honestly and humbly made,
an effect, sometimes a very great one,
was felt at once.

Step Three Prayer

God, I offer myself to Thee --
to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of self,
that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties,
that victory over them
may bear witness to those I would help
of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
May I do Thy will always!

My Creator,
I am now willing that you should have all of me,

Grant me strength, as I go out from here,
to do your bidding.
Amen.

Chapter 6. INTO ACTION page 85
How can I best serve Thee?,
Thy will (not mine) be done."
These are thoughts which MUST go with us CONSTANTLY.

Chapter 1. BILL'S STORY page 13
I was to sit quietly when in doubt,
asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems
as He would have me.
Never was I to pray for myself,
except as my requests bore on my usefulness to others.
Then only might I expect to receive.
But that would be in great measure.

Before we begin,
we ask God to direct our thinking,
especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity,
dishonest or self-seeking motives.
