The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
This evening, is the first court date of my charge of truancy.
If you could all say a small prayer for me for tomorrow night. Not that everything works out they way I want it to, but maybe something similiar to my prayer.
I will ask my HP to guide my words and actions tomorrow evening, so that I can be a vehicle of his will, and not mine.
I will put the die of all the 'next (I think or thought at the time) right things' into the cup, shake it up, roll them out, and let the judge count them up.
It is so hard for me not to conjure up what I want to happen, but that only limits my possibilities to my narrow vision. I pray that my HP has something much grander in store, if I will just act as a vehicle for my HP's will.
Thanks for all your support over the last year and a half !
Bob

opps, I cut and pasted the wrong post, here is the update, lol
Well, we are done for tonight. Plead not guilty and spoke to the prosecutor. He seemed receptive to the things we are trying and scheduled us for the 3/1. He was going to wait until first day court date in April but my social worker's boss said that she is closing our case and moving us on to another service. I thought it best to have her there and the prosecutor thought it would be best and was ok with the earlier date.
He listened and told my daughter that after they are done going after me, if they see a lack of effort on their part they could very easily begin going after her. He did so in a very respectful and nonconfrotational way, my daughter even walked away thinking the prosecutor was kinda cool.
I'll request more thoughts and prayers before that date but I want to thank everyone who contacted me on the boards, or PM.
Ya'll are my family of choice and I couldn't have chosen any better. Bob

Praying that your HP continues to give you the strength & courage to do Step 11 in this difficult situation "praying only for knowledge of His Will for us and the power to carry that out".
Also that you will have inner peace as you face the day's issues.
((Hugs)) Rita
