There is no place where God is not.  In the in-between spaces it looks like there is nothing but nothing is the very thing that is there. Even scientists are discovering things that exist in what was previously believed to be “empty space”. The physical world that we inhabit measures everything by the end result. Our society asks, what is the outcome, the degree, the accolade, the trophy, the recognition, or goal achieved?  This creates an intolerance and lack of value for the times in between when we are in the process.  Every achievement happens in stages, day by day, step by step, decision by decision.  The process of working towards a goal or preparing for an event is the story of our life. It is the journey, not the destination.  Who we are being is measured on the path to the end. On the path, everything has value in God’s eyes.  Every step, every moment, every decision is an opportunity to be present in the moment.  Even in the quiet times when it seems like nothing is happening.  Things are never what they seem.  God encourages us to pause and to rest on the journey because in theory we are here for the experience of life.  Life is more than just the main event or the end result.  In the same way that we are more than just our physical bodies, our being has value in the in-between times.  It is in the quietude that we can be taken care of, nurtured, rested, and filled with the love that we need to take us on our next step of the journey.  My prayer for us today is that we seize the moments of “nothing” happening and ask God to help us recognize the presence of love in those moments.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
