We walk through life on a certain level of automatic-pilotness (my creative word). There are crucial elements of our existence that require this and I am grateful for it. But as we begin to see the life that comes from being fully present in the moment, God calls us to be awake and alert so that we may choose how to be in that moment. It requires a level of responsibility that our mind may not be interested in but our spirit knows is imperative. It is in living with gusto and conscious decisions that we create our lives. It is in creating our lives that we are most connected with God, the creator of all life. Believe it or not, God is calling you to be in creation mode with Him. What a lovely invitation! How can we show that we are willing to kick it up a notch in our lives and step into the creative process? Simply by saying yes to today. Whatever it is, say yes and thank you. Does this mean putting up with being hurt and burdened and suffering? No. It means being willing to see each occurrence as an opportunity from which growth and creation can happen. Life is 10 percent what happens and 90 percent how we react to it. We have such power in the pause and the decision to choose to act, to create, to give life to any situation. My prayer for you today is that you have the courage to take one situation and turn it into your moment of creation. Remember the God of all creation is right there with you–you have an expert in your pocket–go for it! Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
