There is so much that is an existence right in this moment to remind us that we are loved and cared for.  God not only creates us but invites us to be loved and taken care of by Him.  Sometimes we experience this through other people, sometimes we experience it through trials, and when we have the courage to just breathe in the moment, we can experience it in our own hearts.  These blessings exist at all times, they are not dependent upon outside circumstances because God is not dependent upon outside circumstances. When we open the eyes of our heart and spirit to see the gifts that are inherent in everything and every situation our ability to love grows.  As love grows we have less armor around us and can feel more vulnerable.  If we have experienced darkness in times of vulnerability in the past we can be reluctant to open ourselves up again.  But given that God will not cease being until we again return to the state of the truest love from which we were created we will continually be given chances to open up.  It takes courage to recognize the fear that comes up and be willing to move forward and be open despite the fear.  In the past, I have run when the fear (which is all in my mind) has been too great.  It seemed like the safest option.  I am not sure if all these years of dating have worn me down, but today I am willing to be in that space of vulnerability just a little past comfortable.  I have come to trust that God will show up in full force with the love that my spirit is seeking to reclaim.  It started in little ways and little by little grows with time.  God has never let me down.  It is only when I hold an expectation that God will show up in a specific way that I feel let down.  But that is simply because I have narrowed God’s options.  What was I thinking?  LOL!  My experiences of God grow and change as I do and while God is constant, God is not limited.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to the possibility that God will show up with blessings in ways beyond that which we can conceive and thus begin to see everything as a blessing for all can lead us to a process of greater love, no matter the content. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
