When it comes right down to it, we don’t really know why we are here.  We come up with multiple answers at any given time in our lives.  They say that man’s search for meaning begins when he/she asks the questions: Who am I?  Why am I here?  As a person who felt uncertain most of her life I often find it less that comforting to know that m awareness of life begins with my questions.  I always thought it was about having answers.  But answers are simply my minds ideas about why.  My mind is very creative and there are forces at work that are far beyond my understanding that I could not possibly comprehend.  My job is to be present to the best of my ability, take the next indicated step, and continue to ask questions.  When I do experience real answers to my questions, they usually come in forms and experiences that I had not imagined.  I often laugh when I reach a truth (the kind you sense deep within your own being) and I think, “really, this is what brought me to that?  I had no idea that by walking through this particular process in my life that I would come to a new understanding of who I am and who you are.”  The key is to remain open and as much as possible, let go of ideas of how we think it is going to turn out or “supposed” to turn out.  This leaves room for us to be surprised by God.  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to show up in our own lives, even the most mundane of circumstances, and be open to what surprises and answers God might have for us.  Make it a great one!
