dailydatewithgod

One of the most miraculous experiences that has occurred for me as a result of my date time each morning with God is the gift of the pause that I have throughout the day.  The pause that comes between the thought and believing the thought which I take action on.  Thoughts create feelings which create actions which create habits which create character.  It may not seem like much or even something to strive for but is often the difference between peace and madness.  My life is only as beautiful as my focus and perspective allows it to be.  My view of my life is only as good as the mind-set I am in.  I can be in a wonderful place, around generous and kind people, in an experience I always dreamed of, but if my head is in the mindset of what is wrong here then that is all I am experiencing.  My thoughts then create feelings and my actions ensue from those.  The space between having a thought–good or bad, right or wrong, expected or not–and believing the thought is precious.  And if I don’t get much from questioning whether the thought is true or not, I can ask God.  My prayer for us is that we seize those pauses between thoughts, feelings and actions and have the courage to question them. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
