Life goes on. #niecodziennieWielkanoc

Real change is usually slow. Some people do have strong turning points, but most of the important growth happens in ordinary days, through small steps, setbacks, and patient returning. It is easy to wait for one big breakthrough and miss the work that is possible today. But the deeper change usually comes through steady practice, through getting up again, and through persistence when the road feels heavy. This also helps me look differently at my failures. A fall does not have to become the place where I build my identity. I can notice it, learn from it, stand up, and keep going. Resurrection is not once a year. I do not rise only once in some grand moment. I rise again and again, every time I take one honest step, every time I choose a relationship over selfishness, every time I begin again. That is why even a small step today can already be a real victory. *** I took these notes for myself. The 12 Steps are an incredible program, created by people who were desperately looking for a life-saving solution to a life-threatening problem. I am one of those people. You don't need to believe in existence of God to use this Program and save your life. No matter if you believe or not, or how you call it, the life-changing awakening happens through experience, and the experience starts with simple actions. The world can sometimes be cruel and ugly, but most of the time it's really beautiful. Embrace the love. Have a great Sunday. #12steps View quoted note →

Christus resurrexit! GM.

If you want to make God laugh, tell Him about your plans. I've been in an emergency situation like this before, but alone, in a foreign country. I made through it and good people helped me. BUT having family close: priceless. Obvious? Yes, maybe. Still I'm immensely grateful that my family were there for me when I needed it the most. It made it so much better. Now read the previous paragraph again, but replace family with God. Both are true and both happened to me. Thank you, God, for carrying me, and thank you for the people you give me. I'm back home now, resting. If you want to learn your lessons the hard way, try running your life on your self-will. View quoted note →

This path does not really end. Life with God is not a project I finish once and for all, but a road I keep walking. That can feel tiring, but it can also be freeing, because I do not have to solve my whole life at once. What matters most is today. Not “I will never fall again” or “I must already be healed,” but “today I take the next step.” Today I love, today I tell the truth, today I try again, today I let God be with me here. This takes away the pressure to be perfect. I am not asked to be flawless, only willing to grow. The point is not spiritual perfection, but spiritual progress, however small, however unfinished. Even when something seems over, life is not over. Even when I fall, the story keeps going. Life is still moving, and God is still at work. #lent #12steps #step12 View quoted note →

Freedom is a road, not a finish line. I do not need to wait until I am fully changed or fully healed before I speak about what has helped me. Even if I have only taken a few real steps, that is already something I can share. Fear easily keeps me silent. I may think I need to be stronger, clearer, or more consistent before I have the right to say anything. But here the point is different: I am not asked to be a master, only a witness to the little freedom I have already received. This freedom is not something I produce on my own. My effort matters, my desire matters, and my cooperation matters, but the deeper work is something God does in me. Growing in freedom is not my private achievement, but part of God’s work in my life. That is why sharing this path can be so simple and so honest. I share because maybe my small piece of lived hope can help someone else take one more step toward freedom. #lent #12steps #step12 View quoted note →

Nothing improves one's humility like a humbling experience. GN 🏥 #Iwillbefine

Spiritual awakening is a growing awareness of myself, of other people, and of God, and it keeps deepening over time. It's more than psychological insight. Not only about noticing my patterns, fears, or reactions, but about becoming more open to relationship. I begin to see that other people matter to me, that I need them, and that real life happens in connection. It's a strong challenge to stop believing that I must handle everything alone. When something hurts or overwhelms me, my instinct may be to withdraw and try to fix myself in private. But the deeper healing seems to happen when I let my struggle enter relationship with God and with other people. God hates loneliness. Not because God rejects lonely people, but because separation and isolation damage life. We need contact, exchange, closeness, and shared life almost like we need air. In that sense, spiritual awakening means learning not to be afraid of relationship, because relationship is one of the places where God brings us back to life. #lent #12steps #step12 View quoted note →

In our relationship, God first of all wants to be in contact with me. It matters to Him more than my success in doing everything right. I can easily imagine God as distant, cold, and interested only in control. Then faith becomes heavy, and trust becomes almost impossible. But if contact comes first, then even the God’s commandments are no longer pressure, but a promise of fruitful change. This also changes how I understand prayer. Prayer is not only me talking, explaining myself, or repeating my own thoughts. The deeper question is whether I really want contact with God, or whether I only want to hear myself. That is why listening matters so much, and why silence needs to be shaped by a true image of God, not just by my own inner noise. When I truly want contact with God, He responds. Not always quickly, not always in a way I can feel, and not always in the moment I expect. Still, the desire itself already matters, and even in dry or quiet times I trust that I am not ignored or abandoned. #lent #12steps #step11 View quoted note →

Still on repeat. Mesmerized. ▲ View quoted note →

The path to freedom is not clean or easy. It asks me to face truth, weakness, repair, and daily honesty. I do not walk this road alone, though. God stays close to my weakness and helps me pass through hard things without pretending they are not hard. Step 11 turns more openly toward prayer and meditation. The point is to stay in real contact with God and learn to look for His will in a more conscious way. Very simply put, God’s will is what truly serves life. Not only survival here and now, but the deeper good of my life, your life, and the kind of life that is meant for eternity. #lent #12steps #step11 View quoted note →
