When we stop and pause long enough past the clamor of our minds we have a sense of where we are heading, who we truly are and an inner call to our Creator. We often don’t want to wade through the madness that first arises when we get quiet to get to that place but if we can stick it out long enough, it will be worth it. Being able to find a quiet space in our minds and connect with our hearts will allow us to heed that inner call of who we are = LOVE. It is not mumbo jumbo or psychobabble, it is actual hard science in how our brain works. When we are in a more relaxed state and our breathing is calm, we can be present and open to what is happening. If we are busy thinking and worrying and fearing the next move, we are anxious and stress-filled. Starting where we are is essential. When I first started these morning dates with God my head was so loud I wasn’t even sure that God was really there, but I just kept showing up and doing it anyway. Now I look forward to the quiet time with God and embrace the imperfect way that I show up but choose to show up anyway. My prayer for us today is that we be open to taking a chance on stepping into the quiet even if it doesn’t seem so quiet on our first attempts. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
