It has taken time and patience to develop the kind of relationship with God that allows me to confidently be willing to turn everything that I am and do to the care of the Great Creator. It sounds all lovely and Pollyannaish that I have these dates with God each morning, but like most relationships, mine with God has been a bumpy one full of twists and turns. I am grateful that for today I am willing to trust my life to God because I have witnessed and seen in my heart of hearts the power of this God of Love. I have always known God was there but have spent my fair share of time defying God and being angry with God. Throughout it all, I was transparent in my conversation and let it be known whatever I was feeling. To me, more than anything, if I cannot be in relationship with a God that I can be real with, there is no point. God is big enough to handle all my ups and downs, many times more than I can. My prayer for us today is that we trust that wherever we are with our relationship with God, it is okay and just be willing to keep the conversation going. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen

Thank you for sharing your thoughts daily. As you are doing this for yourself as a tool to spend time with God you are doing it for others as well. This post today spoke to me. Like many of us my relationship with God has been a rocky one I have been angry with God and therefore due to anger I have up on Him instead of treating it like a relationship and talking with Him. It is something I haven’t thought to do is express my feelings with Him. So thank you. I continue to read these daily
Ashlyn, Thank you for sharing with me and this blog. Glad to know that it spoke to you. I still remember how freeing it was to let myself tell God how angry I was with him and see that God did not shy away from me but showed me how to draw closer through it. ~Colleen
