 This made me laugh when it came to mind this morning.  It suddenly brought up all these memories of high school and wanting to be one of the cool kids.  I had a mixture of friends in high school but certainly didn’t run with the popular or “cool” kids.  Of course, at my high school they did a lot of drinking and other assorted activities that I wasn’t too interested in.  Okay maybe I was curious but I was too busy trying to be a goodie two-shoes and make sure I was what people expected of me to want to step out and experiment. As the fat girl you learn to just be the really nice girl so you don’t make any more waves, at least that is the path I chose.  When I recall those “cool” kids at school it is the confidence that I remember (whether it was real or fake), the fun they seemed to be having and the lack of fear in standing out and being recognized.  Those are certainly qualities I can emulate.  There is a quote from the book of proverbs that describes the ideal woman, “She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs at the days to come.” (Prov 31:25) Sounds like a pretty cool cat to me. Also sounds like someone who is cool in God’s eyes.  I carry myself with confidence (strength and dignity) and I don’t worry about tomorrow–i.e. I am present in the moment. It always seems to come back to that doesn’t it.  This moment thing, this being where my feet are.  If I am there, God is a gift to the world through me.  I can enjoy the moment because I have no fear about what is to come, it is a complete trust in God (confidence).  When I behave in that matter, I am cool. How do you know that you are cool? My prayer for you today is that you recognize the ways in which you are cool, and look to ways that you can be cool throughout your day.   Who knows, maybe we are more popular than we think (in God’s eyes).  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
