As we grow closer and closer to God we notice that the focus and goals we have begun to shift.  It becomes less about proving ourselves to others and more about connecting to what makes our hearts sing. For some of us, this shift can be uncomfortable.  I used to think that if I did what made other people happy that my job was done. Living this way almost killed me. I didn’t consider that God did not put me on this planet to make other people happy.  I am here on this planet to be an expression of God in my own unique fashion.  This may or may not fit in with other people’s ideas of who or what I should be.  But if I am focused on what other’s vision is for me, then I am making them my God.  I only have one God, the one who created me, who designed me and who cares for me.  I have to remember this too, when other people don’t do or behave the way that I would like.  I need to trust that they are being guided to do what is right for them.  The fact that I am bothered by what they are doing or not doing, is because I am bothered.  People do not do things because of me.  It is not about me.  My prayer for us today is that we have the courage to take our sites off of what others are doing or saying and refocus on what God is calling us to. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
