One of the most amazing creatures that we have on this planet are birds.  I remember as a child simply marveling at how they could go from place to place by defying gravity and just jumping up and flying away.  I so wanted to fly away. If I had thought to ask God to change myform, a bird would have been it.  To be free to, to soar, to explore from above.  One of my favorite gospel songs is “His Eye Is On the Sparrow” about how God watches over us.  Jesus even referenced how the birds do not worry themselves about whether they will be provided for.  If I trust in a God that created All That Is, then I can soar to new heights of understanding and being by stepping into and claiming that inheritance.  If I am willing to let go of my perspective that holds me down, then my eyes are opened to a whole new world in which I am free to be.  With God we can soar. Our hearts, our spirits long to be as close to God as possible and we are restless until we rest in Him.  I noticed that when I let go of an idea that I am familiar with that has grounded me and keeps me from looking up, I feel lighter.  I am no longer weighted down by my fixed perspective because I have asked God to enlighten my mind.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to offer up an idea that keeps us grounded and offer it up to be lightened up by God.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
