dailydatewithgod

One of the wondrous elements of being alive is that ability to choose that life.  Each morning as I take a breath I have the opportunity to say yes and choose the day that God has set before me.  When it is a day that feels in alignment and trust of God I am grateful for that choice even if I wake up and feel a little off.  Then there are those mornings that I would much rather hit the snooze button and think: “Really God, you thought I deserve another day with the opportunity to show up?  I am going to need your help with that every step of the way today.”  Sometimes after our date time I feel more on course, other times I find myself wondering if that time was even productive.  At each moment, with each breath I have the gift to choose my experience.  A little later in the day when I am in traffic on the way to work, I can again choose my experience.  It is not about what is actually happening it is about my perspective.  On a good day I see the purpose and the gift in people and situations.  On a less than ideal day I see problems and things to get through.  I am 100% responsible for my mindset.  I cannot always get out of my head and therein lies the humility of asking God to step in on my behalf.  God, help me to see this (person, situation, feeling, etc.) as You see it. In the times that I forget that I have a choice, I am falling prey to some ideal that is beneath my very essence and I do not think God would ever want that for me.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to take full responsibility for our choices this day (or at least an hour of the day) and notice who we are being when we own those choices.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
