In an ever-growing and ever-evolving universe the continuous construction becomes part of the divine landscape. Growing up we lived in a town, like many, that often had construction crews on the roads and around buildings. It seemed in the discussion of people, that construction when it came to buildings and new formations it was acceptable. Construction on the roads was tolerated. The sentiment was when is this going to be finished? How much longer are to we endure this? It is in our way, can’t they be done with it yet? When its complete, then all will be well. This is very much how we view our lives. When something new is being created from scratch we are all for it. When something existing must be tended to, or reconfigured, we seem irritated. I often look at the redo or upkeep of an existing part of my life as a failure in the design. I have told myself in the past that if I have to construct or reconstruct an existing structure–thought, way of being, action, it must mean that I did it wrong the first time. What if the construction of what is existing is part of its design? What if the process of life and creation meant that construction would and “should” occur? What if my idea that something is wrong is wrong? Ha! I like that one! God often hears me ask the question why and I would swear that I can see God smile when I do. It’s not that asking why is a problem, I just have learned that its answer rarely brings me into alignment with peace. Sometimes it does, but I have learned that the question I want to ask is–how can this allow me to construct my heart to be more present to love? How will this experience redesign my thinking so that I can see with Your eyes instead of just my physical eyes? My prayer for us today is that we embrace construction of our lives (our thinking, feeling, and being) as the Designers intended experience for us to be more present to love (who we are at our core). Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
