I am continually amazed by the intelligence and the design of the systems in place that are the basis of how our world works.  The more I read and grow and participate in life I see that it is designed with such craft and precision that it is hard not to be continually amazed.  While it might sound lacking in humility, I must acknowledge God as I did this morning on our date that I am impressed by what He has created.  There is such intelligence behind every detail of the design.  I am grateful that I am able to see it because it gives me a fresh appreciation for life.  I don’t know about you, but I need that.  It is so easy to go from day-to-day and get to the end of the week and wonder where it all went.  Somehow by having our time together, God and I have created a communication that transcends words and ideas and I am able to see with fresh eyes how life places experiences in my lap just for me to discover love in a new way.  It is easy to remember this when the lesson comes in a warm and safe package.  It is harder to remember this when it comes in an irritating and frustrating package, but both are my opportunity to grow in love.  Stretching and opening one’s heart is hard sometimes but when I fight it, it is my spirit that loses.  I am grateful that God is always there to show me that I am not alone.  I simply need to be open and expecting a fresh new way to see God present in my life. I learned a long time ago that when my heart is full of anger and self-loathing I cannot see things with a fresh perspective.  There are too many layers to get through.  It is not impossible, for nothing is impossible, it just requires effort on my part and a willingness to be humble enough to acknowledge that I need help.  It is our ego’s greatest feat to convince us that we are alone and need no one. The moment I am willing to let go of that story, God presents a lightness and love in a way I never imagined.  And in areas I never imagined God to show up.  My prayer for you today is that you be open to the freshness that is dancing in front of your nose and have the courage to let go of the blinders that are keeping you from seeing it. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
