The overarching theme of the Easter season in the Christian faith is HOPE!  Hope in the miraculous!  Hope in the impossible!  Hope in courage of God!  Hope in transformation!  Hope in the darkness returning to light!  To believe even when it seems impossible.  To be hopeful especially in the face of despair requires fortitude!  If we think of the hardest times that we have faced in our lives, times that we thought we never turn around, and we have all had them–what is it that got you through?  You are still here, are you not?  You might be a little beaten down or worse for the wear.  You might still be dealing with the remnants of that situation and life might never seemed to have returned to truly being hopeful or worth living.  But the fact that you are still here and you are reading this means, that whatever you perceive about what happened, is simply not true.  You are still here!  You still get a breath when you wake up in the morning.  Whether you realize it or not, your heart keeps beating and the light within your soul gives you the courage to show up every day.  It may be muted or less than “ideal” but it is still happening.  What if you were to grab hold of that little flicker of light that burns with in you and fan that flame?  What if you were to acknowledge that you have defied the odds by still trudging away at life?  How much greater of a perspective would you have on your own life.  As people we do what we know, good or bad, right or wrong–we do what we know and we do the best we can.  What if you were to connect with a source that saw your ability as greater than you.  That sees a resurrection, a new life just waiting to burst forth?  What if for one day you could let go of how you see you and see yourself through your Creator’s eyes?  Today I challenge you–in whatever area of your life that you have experienced a death–it could be an idea, way of being, relationship, anything.  Take that and offer it up to God, ask God to show you how He sees it.  And while you are waiting for the transformed perspective, have the fortitude to act as thought it is already happening.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
