In our mind’s eyes resides an understanding that what we are seeing with our physical eyes is not all there is.  It is as though the spirit communicates itself even through out thick skull.  The reality of our Creator is that what is now is all there is.  We like to hang out in the conversation of shoulds and wants.  It is called fighting reality.  When we get caught up in this cycle we find ourselves restless, irritable, and discontent because we are in a space of lack of acceptance.  If I am aligned with God and God’s love for me, then I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be and I am taken care of no matter what happens. This for me has been the maturity of my faith in God.  I am no longer looking for God to swoop in and rescue me (most of the time) from my current circumstances.  I only expect to not be experiencing them on my own.  I long to be shown where love is in this and what I can learn from it.  When I am not worried about my safety or protecting my heart, I can be open to being the messenger of love that is needed in the right here and now.  Acceptance is not always easy for me.  Sometimes I have to start smaller by accepting that I don’t accept whatever it is.  That buys me some time, so to speak, to get reconnected with who I truly am. Then I remember that what is happening outside of me does not change who I am from the inside out.  The only reality I need to be conscious of is that God is in charge and God loves me.  My prayer for us today is that we look to what we can accept about reality or accept that we don’t accept it and seek God.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
