Whenever I am uncertain of how God works or if God works I only need to look at reality.  Will things ever be new and fresh again?  In reality seasons change and new things are growing all the time even when I can’t see them.  Am I supposed to feel so alone or like I have to handle everything on my own?  I am surrounded by people who I bump into and am “forced’ to interact with all day long so probably not.  Does love really exist?  I see people sharing, loving and connecting with each other all around me, so that would be a yes.  Is music real?  I only need stop and listen to the sounds of nature-singing birds and crickets, the way the wind howls, people who hum and sing and make music out of random objects.  My head is always ready to convince me that it is going to get worse, that it is always going to be like this.  But I live in a reality where things are changing all the time.  And, if I really pay attention, I can recognize that change is already happening within me.  Tomorrow I will not be exactly the same person simply by virtue of the fact that the air I breathe will change my cells and go through my whole body.  My mind tells me that I am stuck and going nowhere yet I keep putting one foot in front of the other, even if it is to get up and go to the bathroom-ha!  My mind is a beautiful instrument, but it cannot be the only thing in my life that provides direction.  I must take time to connect to my heart and my spirit for the things eternal are what keep things in motion.  My prayer for us today is to recognize our minds as providing one side of the story and be open to evidence (God) to the contrary that even we are living, happening right in front of us.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
