Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith. ~ Hebrews 13:7 (NLT)

We must be entirely honest with somebody if we expect to live long or happily in this world. Rightly and naturally, we think well before we choose the person or persons with whom to take this intimate and confidential step. ~ Alcohol Anonymous, pp. 73-74

Someone who has 
what I want — 
peace, a good life 
full of meaning, 
faith evident 
day by day, 
a leader to teach me the
  word of God. 
Someone I can be honest with, 
someone I will be honest with, 
I think well before choosing, 
but I choose. 
I choose. 
I take the leap 
and get a sponsor 
and listen 
and learn.

Thank you, God, 
for sponsors. Give me the courage 
to be sponsored.
