God’s design is in and through all things in existence. God’s purpose of amplifying love expounds through all that has been and will be created.  As an essential part of creation, we are all called to do the same.  Each of our experiences are an opportunity to grow and learn how to love, share love, create love, abide in love.  We are gifted with energy that  moves through us. This energy in motion is powerful and sometimes seems overwhelming.  Its facets are wide and deep and sometimes seem to have control over us.  We talk about emotions as though they are more powerful than us.  We say we get swept away by them, we are carried by them, and we need to move past them.  Just as we cannot suppress our breath, we cannot suppress this energy  in motion.  But what if this energy in motion is an indication of our thinking.  Perhaps it needs to run its course or it is calling us to be open to alter our thinking. We are not ruled by it.  We are invited to  channel it in a healthy and respectful manner.  We are the guardians of this energy and can choose to direct it towards love. I know for many years I tried avoiding and suppressing my emotions.  Being that they were present in my mind and body and I ran from feeling present in my body as it was the enemy in my eyes, I wanted nothing to do with it.  This only resulted in me needing to use mind altering substances such as sugar to keep those emotions from what I assumed would consume me.  I now recognize that avoiding, judging, or doing anything besides recognizing this energy in motion as an indication of my thinking causes an unhealthy interruption in the flow of life.  Today I ask God for the courage to pay attention to this energy and how it is calling me to love no matter how it presents itself.  My prayer for us in an openness to listen to the energy that we are carrying in our minds and our bodies and ask God for the insight as to how we might best use it to generate more love for ourselves and others today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
