The Family Grows By One

I have another new sponsee, and I have to say this is really starting to feel strange.

I've been going to my Monday night meeting for more than a year now, and every meeting, for all that time, I've raised my hand when the chairperson asks who is willing to be a sponsor. Not a single person has approached me. Until a month ago.

Then, three weeks out of the last four, someone has asked me to be their sponsor.

On Monday night, I didn't even share. It was a tag meeting in which the chairperson shares, then tags someone else, who shares and tags someone else, etc. I didn't get tagged.

Funny, it occurred to me that because I didn't share no one was likely to ask me to be their sponsor. I felt a little disappointed as I thought this because I had the simultaneous thought that I had room in my life for one more. And then the meeting ended and this woman stood there looking at me with an expression I now recognize.

So I have to wonder: What changed?

I asked my sponsor that. She said what changed was that God decided it was time.
