I spent a large portion of my life fearing the worst.  Even if I wasn’t conscious of it, it was the predominant thought.  What I didn’t realize at the time, because I thought it was very practical of me to take everything into account, was that it created the lens through which I saw life.  I would not have described it as fear, I would have described it as being a realist.  Either way, it was a limiting view of God.  Even when good things happened I worried that they would not last long so I wouldn’t let myself enjoy them fully.  I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Living a life today that has let go of the need to destroy myself on a daily basis and shifting my thinking has caused me to realize that God does not wear shoes.  There is no other shoe to come off.  And, all I have is right here right now, so I might as well enjoy it.  Besides, I am completely confident that no matter what happens, God and I can handle it.  Stuff happens, good and bad, right and wrong.  It is not what happens to me that creates my reality it is what I do with it.  My prayer for us today is that we take one anticipation of negativity that we usually carry with us and ask God to exchange it for an anticipation of good that we agree to enjoy to the fullest.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
