When the student is ready...the teacher arrives.

Aloha Family...The consequences of following thru on trust over the course of this
journey of recovery will work for my recovery.  That promise has always come true
sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly.  Most recently it came to pass in helping
me properly participate in eye surgery.  I was the only participant without trust and
that became a non-issue by coming back here and to my fellowship locally...speaking
about my condition...asking for feedback...listening with an open mind...learning and
practicing.  It still works.  Thru the process, which has been lengthly, I have arrived
at a condition that needed to be changed...I didn't have focused sponsorship.  I was
letting my home group and MIP sponsor me and while that worked it wasn't as focused
as I needed.  I used prayer and listened.  I was told to be patient and I remembered
from the past that I wasn't shopping for something/one that would fit my ego need
but an instrument of my HP; someone who had the reflection/spirit/character of
recovery.  I would not have any other installed options to stumble all over.

I've been open to my HP's response to that prayer and this morning the teacher
arrived with the willingness to be apart of my recovery.  He arrived with the awareness
and the message and I know by how often my head nodded at hearing his message
(he channeled my early sponsorship) that I must ask without expectation.  I will not
second guess HP on the model because it has always really been about the message.

When I listened to the message of his journey HP was critiquing sponsorship with me.
You don't need a dad and you will not idolize any other person regardless of where
you find them. At times you will be student and at other times teacher.  This instrument
has a part of the plan you need to hear...go ask.

That part is done...I have another instrument of my HP to support my peace of
mind and serenity.  ((((hugs)))) smile
