I had every intention of making a 7 pm meeting yesterday. Unavoidable things got in the way and at 7:15 I returned home to re-group. I REALLY NEEDED a meeting, that much I was sure of. My attitude was pure ugly yesterday and I was craving a drink like I hadnt' in a couple of days.
I went online looking for anything within driving distance with the gas I had.
Too far...
not enough time to get there...
AH HA!!! CLose enough, check, enough time to get there, check! I don't know exactly where this is but I know the general area. When I got in the vicinity of where I thought it should be, I made a random turn (can't see after dark worth a damn!). I'm watching cross street signs all the way down the hill and I'm starting to get nervous cause I'm not seeing what I'm looking for.
All of sudden I noticed a sign for the name of the street I was on and..... it was one of the intersection streets I needed! The street I was looking for was the very last cross street. My random turn (hmmm... random must be a lot like coincidence...) led me exactly where I needed to go!
I thanked God in the parking lot for lighting my way. I go in and Praise the Lord, it's air conditioned (first place I've been in for a meeting that had that luxury and it was still nearly 90 degrees). It's a speaker meeting, my first. The speaker was a female with 34 years of sobriety and nearly everything she said hit a home run for me!
I not only needed a meeting, I needed THIS meeting. My HP made sure I got there whether I wanted to or not. The whole world become a brighter place. My attitide changed from ugly to almost sunny and I am still riding on a wave of gratefulness.

Stick around a while ... You ain't seen nothin' yet ... this sort of stuff will happen often enough that it's impossible to write it off to coincidence ...
Love it when a plan comes together!

Yup ain't much on coincidences either! The God of my understanding always has a plan ,I just have to remain receptive by continually increasing to improve my "conscious contact' with My Higher Power to the best of my ability.Have a blessed and productive day!
