Have you ever measured how much time you allot to preparing yourself for a situation or looking forward to something?  It would be interesting to evaluate how much energy and time we spend in hopes of what will come versus time spent in the moment.  Not as a judgment but an observation.  I believe that God is the only true judge.  Anything I judge is with my human mind which it means it will come up short in the end as I cannot possibly know all that is.  Does God look at preparation as preparation or as what is meant to be happening in the moment?  Years ago in a TV show this God character was explaining to the human in the story that God is all about now. She said, “God is all about what you are going to do now,” and I remember it hit me right in my gut when I heard it.  What we see as preparation or being primed is actually what is supposed to be happening right now. We think of it in relation to the end result that we are envisioning and God sees it as what is so in the moment.  How much more might we appreciate the process of life and growth if we recognize that every experience, feeling, idea, and thought that brings us to the next moment in our lives is within itself the reality/gift of our lives?  That is what is meant by the saying that it is the journey not the destination.  But as human beings because we have limited minds, we need to make it mean something, so we think in terms of preparation.  God thinks in terms of the present.  He knows that we are already primed and ready to go because it is where we are.  God would like nothing more than to be fully present in the moment that is his gift to us.  God does not discriminate the kind of moment as good or bad, God simply wants to be with us.  The question then becomes, do we want to be with us?  My prayer for us today is put on the mind of God and revel in the priming of the moment as the destination. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
