So much of our lives we measure by right or wrong, good or bad.  This requires judgment of a situation on our part.  This works as long as I am able to fully judge a situation and as long as I keep it about myself.  The challenge here is that can I ever fully judge a situation?  Do I ever really have all the facts and insights at the time of judgment.  More importantly, while I am judging it, am I able to love it?  That is where I struggle, especially when it comes to emotions.  I spent most of my life judging a situation, experience, or feeling before I fully knew or understood what was going on. The moment there was a hint of something “good” or “bad”, “right” or “wrong” I had a judgment about it.  It stifled my ability to actually experience what was happening. This meant stuffing down emotions instead of just accepting them, it kept me from feeling and moving on.  An “E-motion” is a call to “motion”  a movement of energy.  I didn’t allow it because I judged it first, and usually made it wrong.  Again, no room for love and acceptance as part of the human experience and condition.  Somehow I don’t think this is why God gifted me or anyone with emotions.  I have learned that emotions are indicators. Indicators of how I am thinking about something.  They connect my mind and my body and can connect my heart, if I let them.  If I judge them as “right” or “wrong” then I have missed the point.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing look at emotions as a movement of energy and ask instead, is this working for me or against me to allow this energy to continue?  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
