Our design by God is that we always be connected to All That Is. When we come to recognize that God is our source and that we are not separate we are able to live fully. All of a sudden we are not dependent upon only our own resources. Our connection and reliance is on the Originator of All Things. When all is quiet in our minds and we presence ourselves in our souls, we admit that there is a sense that something is missing. We can chase after it outside of ourselves all we want. We may even find something to fill it temporarily but all eventually falls away. It is when we recognize that we have a God-size hole in our hearts that is burning to be filled we come home. This dependence upon God may appear to the outside world like a crutch or a being needy. Quite to the contrary it is our freedom. Freedom because it allows us to step into our full power and our fullest experience of living. I spent many years chasing an addiction that I had convinced myself through my thinking was providing the safety and protection that I never had. I thought for sure (not consciously) that by carrying an extra bunch of weight (over 100 plus pounds), being checked out on sugar, and closing off my heart was allowing me to not be disappointed or betrayed by people or life ever again. When it all came crumbling down and I could not longer sustain the addiction, all I had left was my dependence upon God. God had always been there and I included him in my life, but only on the things that I thought I needed help with. The walls I had built up from my own soul were so thick that it took the breakdown to breakthrough my false beliefs of dependence on self. On the road of recovery I found that the more I depended upon God for my every thing, the more I am free to not need to create my own protection and sense of self. It is a daily walk and on our dates, God shows me more and more with each breath that the plans for me are greater than my grandest imagination. I am not nor are any of us destined to a small safe life. Through our dependence upon God we can step out of fear and need to be in control and live and breathe in the freedom of being connected to All That Is. My prayer for us today is that we be open to allowing ourselves to depend upon God in some small way today that we were resistant to yesterday. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
