We are given the greatest gift each day.  When we wake up and take a breath we can be thankful that many people didn’t get that same breath this morning.  Clearly, God has something in mind for our day.  We will always have our own agenda and ideas of how the day “should” play out.  But what if we made room to take on what God would have us do and be?  It would create an unexpected experience filled with some uncertainty, excitement, curiosity, and energy not normally used.  If we simply go with our programming and our plan then we are limiting our life experience.  The exhilaration of living God’s will in our lives is not because we are clueless and need to get it right or be perfect but rather because the plan that God has for us always will exceed our imagination and sense of possibility.  We fear it because it will call us to change and grow and we don’t know what that looks like.  But the fear is based on the idea that we will have to figure it all out.  As if God will bring us to it but not through it.  I have had my share of those times when I though God abandoned me and they were painful.  What I realized over time is that God did no such thing because that is contrary to the consistency and certainty of an omnipotent being.  I simply lost sight of God because he no longer showed up in a predictable way.  I needed to broaden my horizons.  The moment I start putting God in a box or think I have God figured out, I have lost sight.  My prayer for you today is that amidst your plans you be open to what God might have for you to experience and have the courage to take the action in that direction.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
