If life is happening for me and I am called to accept life on life’s terms there is nothing to fight.  There is nothing to be concerned or worried about.  Therein lies the challenge.  The moment I begin thinking that life is not how it is supposed to be I am not in acceptance and I am not agreeing to God’s plan.  I know from personal experience that when God’s plan mirrors how I thought things might be, I am agreeable. But when things are not going the way I thought they might or hoped they might I am concerned or disgruntled or irritated. Hmm.  So my expectations are what seem to get in the way of my own happiness.  Because it is not that in those moments of discontent that God all of a sudden disappears, but rather my personal objective becomes more important than God’s.  My thinking is more important than God’s way of being.  My prayer for us today is that we may seize those moments of irritation or discontent as opportunities to realign ourselves with our Creator who has greater plans than we can imagine or expect.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
