God is discovery. God is closeness. When we connect with God we have access to the clarity of mind that only God has. This allows us to take a closer look at our lives. We can easily go along in life not stopping to reflect on the way we are being. We exist a lot of the time on automatic pilot. Our brains are designed to ensure our survival and as long as we are breathing, the mind sees no need to stop and examine how it is doing. Then something happens to wake us up. Our wake up call is a chance to examine life as we have been living it up to this point. I have had several wake up calls in my lifetime and they come in big and small packages. The biggest one for me was when I had to face the reality of my sugar and food addiction and the extra 160 plus pounds I was carrying. I was in pain, shut down emotionally, and life just wasn’t working. I couldn’t lie to myself anymore that things were okay. I had no true sense of peace in my heart. I needed help and thankfully I reached out for it. I could look upon the examination as resulting in a terrible prognosis. Instead I saw some hope when I found a solution. God knew it was time for me to stop trying to figure it out and learn to fully rely upon Him. It has been a humbling experience these past 13 years but I would not change a thing. The evaluation in my life continues because I do not want to fool myself back into the mind or body space I lived in before. Today my relationship with God is the single most important element in my life. My prayer for us today is an openness to an honest evaluation of our lives to assess for the level of peace. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
