So… You Say You Still Have Your Shortcomings Eh?

Really? But you’ve “done” your Seventh Step, right? Um Hmmm.
This applies to me as well folks! Today’s Reflection;
Shortcomings Removed
“When I put the Seventh Step into action I must remember that there are no blanks to fill in.”
Isn’t this interesting? If I hadn’t read this I’d be wondering what they meant. They go on to say;
“It doesn’t say, ‘Humbly asked Him to (fill in the blank) remove our shortcomings.’ For years, I filled in the imaginary blank with ‘Help me!’ ‘Give me the courage to,’ and ‘Give me the strength,’ etc. The Step says simply that God will remove my shortcomings.”
Must be my lack of faith that keeps me in a never-ending condition of keeping my shortcomings…
What do you think? About you, not me 
As I understood it, removing my shortcomings was something only God could do, I had gotten myself into too much of a mess. I believe only God acting directly on me could have cleared up this mess.
Mark,
Just wanted to stop by and say hello.
I’ve been keeping up with your blogs and enjoy them very much.
Good night (or is it morning?)
