God of All Love is attentive to you and has been from the beginning. God does not create and disappear. God creates and lives in the creation. All of God’s creation is a manifestation of God’s love. This is yet another way that God is clearly a power greater than ourselves. One of the most creative things I did as a kid growing up to deal with the chaos of my experience was to disassociate from my body and make it wrong. In other words, abandon the present moment. At the time it was a great coping skill and it served me well. It no longer serves me today. I have many more options and resources at my disposal and so growing up has been a process of being present in the moment with God. I know that God is always attentive and present. Given that I am a child of God I can step by step begin to trust that it is okay for me to be present in the moment no matter what I am feeling or remembering. The mind is very creative and always set in its ways. I ask God for a new perspective and sit in the unfamiliarity in the meantime. I know that in doing this I create new experiences and new neural pathways. Then more and more I am able to be present and attentive to the good and the bad in my life today. My prayer for us today is that we be open to allowing God to grant us the courage to be attentive to the life we have this day, no matter what we think or feel. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
