God calls us to be awake and alive. We are gifted with breath and mind so that we might show the world the facets of love that it longs to connect with. Only we can be examples of love in the variety of ways that it manifests. We are the vessels through which God works and shows up. When we pay attention to the things that interest us we begin to get a clue as to how we can best be the light of love for the world. Growing up I focused a lot on what I thought other people wanted me to be and do because i was depending on them to tell me I was okay. I felt I had to justify my existence. I knew there were things I was interested in but I would cater what I leaned toward or got involved in by how it would look. I also thought that if I couldn’t be the best at whatever it was, there was not point in even getting started on that path. Now I see what a limiting way of living that creates. It is a good way to suck the energy out of one’s life when we are not coming from a place of authenticity. Life is about the process. It is not about being the best at whatever it is that I am interested in, it is being on the path of that interest so that each day I can be the beacon of love. God gifts us with abilities and interests to guide us on a path of making God present to the world in multiple fashions. When I remember that my “okayness” stems from my connection with God, I am free to be myself in the world. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to explore our interests and accept that its path can be a way for us to be love for ourselves and the world. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
