You awake and the sun is rising, the birds are chirping, the plants are growing, the air is moving, your heart is pumping, your lungs are expanding and contracting, one leg moves and the other follows–all these things happen without you having to do anything.  Is there a doubt in your mind that the God of Creation has provided a new day for you?  If this is done in simple and concrete ways, would it not also be done in grand and complex ways?  Perhaps we need to awaken to all the ways that we are provided for and looked out for by God and be grateful for them in order to trust that we will be provided for in grander ways.  So often I doubt that God will show up, so I take on the responsibility of trying to make it all happen instead of just showing up authentically and playing my part.  Sometimes, I think when I do that God just shakes his head, smiles and laughs as he sees me taking so long to show up because I am trying to carry the world on my shoulders.  He looks me in the eye, tells me He is glad that I am here and then asks if I want to give him back the world to take care of.  Then I realize that that was what was burdening me and getting in the way of being able to just show up.  God uses all things for the good.  If I truly believe that God created this entire universe and everything in it, then nothing I can experience will separate me from God unless I choose to view it as separate from God.  Usually the only thing that separates me from God is my ego (EGO=Edging God Out).  My prayer for you today is that you have the willingness to believe that you are provided for in every way possible with Love and trust that all you have to do is show up and be you.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
