We are the designers of our lives.  I like to think of myself as a co-partner in designing my life.  Not because I am less than or because I am not capable.  Rather I cannot possibly see all that is out there to see and do and feel.  I need to connect with something greater than me to be connected to the greater good.  That is why a simple prayer of “Thy will, not mine, be done” is so powerful.  Another one is “God, align my will with yours, give me the power and the courage to carry it out.” God speaks in simplicity.  Saying prayers such as these allows me to acknowledge what I feel or think is coming from my heart while recognizing that I may not be seeing it all and want the outcome to be one that is for the greater good of all.  When we recognize our role as an author in our own lives, we can no longer pretend to be a victim.  Sometimes it seems easier to be the victim.  The key word here is “seems”.  I should know as I was very versed in the victim role for a long time.  And it served its purpose.  We all have tools that we learn growing up and they work, but then we are given an opportunity to grow up.  I was given that opportunity over ten years ago and I have never regretted anything I have had to do to walk into a new way of living.  It has been uncomfortable and painful at times, but well worth all of it.  Transformation is messy.  But the way I live my life today is filled with so much more peace.  I am not sure what it was that caused me to want to stop and take stock of my life.  Perhaps I felt I was in a safe enough of a situation to begin to change, maybe the spirit moved me in such a way that I could no longer turn back.  It reminds me of one of my all-time favorite songs, “Love . . . thy will be done.” by Martika. “I can no longer hide, I can no longer run . . . I can no longer resist the guiding light that gives me the power to keep up the fight.  Love thy will be mine and make strive for the glorious and divine.”   I am grateful today that I had the courage to step outside my comfort zone and take God’s hand and step into my life. My prayer for you today is that you may see one area of your life where you can more fully participate as an author.  Reach out and grab the hand of God, the ride is amazing.  Make it a great one!  Peace ~Colleen
