The well-known cliché is that the only thing constant is change.  It is obviously a cliché for a reason.  When we begin to embrace the abundance of change in our lives as a move into fullness and closeness to who we are at our core, it holds great promise.  When we focus on the idea of change as struggle and pain and discomfort then we will fear it.  I feel as though God is constantly inviting me to see things in a new way.  I am offered an opportunity to embrace the beauty of change in my life and the life of all living things around me.  We don’t seem to mind when the oxygen we take in refreshes our cells or get change back when we purchase something.  So why do we resist some change and not others?  I find that for me, when I am wedded to the idea of security in a certain way of being or pattern that the resistance to change becomes stronger.  I fear the unknown and wonder who I would be or have to become in order to participate in a new situation.  However, if I am living in the truth of who I am at my core–love, beauty, acceptance, forgiveness, graciousness, power, and fully aligned with the Great Creator then whatever change occurs is simply a new space and time in which to be those things.  When I am not in that space, the changes are opportunities to step closer to that state of oneness with God.  When I am in that space of oneness, I am the agent of change.  When I experience resistance to change, I find it helpful to turn to God and ask, is the change I am perceiving is an invitation from him or simply fear masquerading and playing with my head?  If it is an invitation then I ask for the courage to accept it and trust that it will call me closer to the Great Spirit and myself.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to be curious about the resistance to change and ask questions.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
