It seems only natural to go with the flow. Going with the flow is peaceful and non-disruptive. No waves are made, no dissention in the ranks, and peace abounds, right? Or maybe not. It depends on what flow we are going with. The flow of our spirit and soul, yes. The flow of God’s creation, yes. The flow of expectation of others–hmm, not so much. The flow of societal norms, it depends. The most courageous thing we can do in this life is look closely at the deeply held beliefs that we have. The ones that we have adopted, most of the time unconsciously, and ask if it is true for us. So much of what we see as our opinion or ideas are simply a collective. A collective body of ideas can be very powerful. God has called us all to a higher purpose to each individually be the light of the world. Sometimes that means standing in opposition to what society or our family has deemed part of the flow. My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to question one of those acceptable thoughts/beliefs and determine if we are being called to go with the flow or stand in opposition. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
