Sponsorship Is From God

God, thank you for the wonderful gift of my sponsor. He taught me how to trust when I didn’t know how. He taught me that I am a worthwhile and wonderful person. He taught me how to be in a relationship with someone, which led me to being in a relationship with Someone. He taught me about the steps.

He’s teaching me how to take one step at a time. The step I must now take is to let go. It hurts! If I try to hang on, I won’t be able to anyway, and my “fist will be clenched’. I won’t be able to receive, with open hands, what God has next for me.

Would it have been better if my sponsor had never entered my life? No!

O God! I’m powerless!
You are God.
I choose to give my will and my life over to you in this very difficult moment.
I choose to let go and let God.

God, you are my ultimate sponsor.

These words were written regarding the move of my beloved sponsor, who was truly a gift from God. They were written on a note, tied to a helium balloon and released into the sky.
