I was sober and had worked the recovery program ETA for several years before I was capable of being honest with the old HP. Up until the time that I was able to admit to Him I wasn't always thrilled with my life and it's struggles, I always wore a mask when trying to communicate with Him. My prayers would start out with my saying how much I loved and trusted Him, which was an ideal but hardly the truth, and then continue with how happy I was with every happening in my life, which was what I thought I was supposed to feel.
Finally I realized that claiming how much I loved following blissfully along behind Him at every given moment was dishonesty and successful relationships must be based on honesty. Shortly thereafter, I realized how funny it was to think I could put one over on the old HP since I believe He sees and knows all. Once again, the person I was lying to the most was myself.
Today's song reflects the ups and downs that occur in most relationships. I like the way it turns into a prayer when I sing it to the old HP; the truthful expression of the strength and straining of my faith and trust as I try to do His will while handling life on life's terms.
Fallin' by Alicia Keys
I keep on fallin'
In and out of love
With You
Sometimes I love You
Sometimes You make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin You darlin'
Makes me so confused
I keep on
Fallin'
In and out of love with You
I never loved someone
The way that I love You
Verse 2
Oh, oh , I never felt this way
How CAN YOU GIVE ME SO MUCH BLESSINGS
And LET ME FEEL SO MUCH PAIN
Just when I think
I've taken more than would a fool
I start fallin' back in love with You
I keep on
Fallin'
In and out of love with You
I never loved someone
The way that I LOVE You
Bridge
Uh,Uh,Baby
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
I, I, I, I'm fallin'
Fall,Fall,Fall,Fall
I keep on
Fallin'
In and out (out) of love (love) with (with) You
I never loved someone
The way that I LOVE You
I'm fallin'
In and out of love (of love) with You (with You)
I never (no) loved someone (no,no)
The way that I LOVE You
I'm fallin'
In and out of love (of love) with You (with You)
I never (no) loved someone (no,no)
The way that I LOVE You
What?
Have a good and sober day.
