Are you in it?  Are you playing the game?  Do you have your game face on?  Are you focused?  I am not sure how much of a sportswoman I would be considered but I did my share in grade school on soccer teams and gymnastics.  Any discipline requires focus though and I learned that through my many years as a dancer.  If my mind is somewhere else when I am practicing or performing it is hard for my body to stay on track.  Where my mind goes, my body follows. There is something beautiful that happens when you are completely focused on what is happening at that moment.  Have you ever noticed that time slips away and you lose yourself.  It is very freeing.  What if more of life could be that on a day-to-day basis.  What if we were to be completely in whatever it was that we are doing at that moment?  I think we have come to a time in life when there are so many things grasping for our attention from moment to moment that it requires more discipline to stay focused on the task at hand.  But more than that it requires making a decision to be in whatever we are in at the moment.  I often think that I am not supposed to be where I am so I am not interested in being in it.  Just take traffic for instance.  I cannot remember a time when I thought–yep, this is exactly where I am supposed to be.  I am usually putting up with it and hoping it passes soon so I can get on to what I am really here for.  Hmm, how might it be different if I asked God to show me why being where I am in that moment is the best thing for me?  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to do just that–ask God how being in where we are in the moment we least want to be in is a gift.  You up for the challenge?  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
