The world in which we live and there are may place to look for answers to our questions but the one place where we will find the greatest of answers lies within us. When we connect with our hearts and our spirits. When our head quiets down long enough to allow our greatest self to speak the truth we will find peace. So how do we do this? One step at a time. When I first started this process of dedicating this time each morning to God and I got quiet it wasn’t actually that quiet. My head started a laundry list of all the things I needed to do. Some mornings it wakes up before me and is ready with a clipboard of a list of all the things I did wrong the previous day. So, what I do is show that list to God when I arrive for my date. He usually looks at it, smiles, and says, “How about I take your list and you take mine.” His list is full of words that describe who I truly am–love, kindness, patience, tolerance, compassion, beauty, perseverance, and so on. Sometimes I take my list back from God at some point during the day, so I need to stop, reconnect and give the list back to Him. He gladly takes it each time and shows me His list again. Even if I am not willing to let go of my list, I can stop, place my hand on my heart and take a deep breath. This little movement connects me to God. My prayer for you today is that you can take one small step, even just a breath, to connect within and be reminded of who you truly are. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
