One of my favorite quotes is from C.S. Lewis who says, “Relying on God must begin again each day as though nothing has been done before.”  It is a day at a time relationship probably because as far as we know, today is the only day we have.  In this day we can make a choice to rely on God as our source of understanding or our minds.  Most likely it will be a combination of both, but the notion that I can do it all on my own has gotten me into trouble more than once.  In the U.S. in particular independence is our marker, after all it is what we did to become the United States of America.  Ultimately we did it to no longer be under the tyranny of ideas that we thought held us back from living fully.  If depending entirely on my own resources keeps me trapped in bondage from my limited thinking, then what kind of independence do I really have?  The irony is that dependence on God brings independence of spirit because when I am aligned with God’s thinking there is no limit to what can be experienced and accomplished.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to depending on God and not just our own resources in one area of our life, just be willing to try it today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
