Life is meant to be lived. For me that means getting out there and showing up.  It is the only thing that seems to work.  Intentions are important and having a vision is guiding but when it come right down to the moment, I have to actually be there.  There was a time when really living was too scary.  I carried around too many scars from past hurts and resentments and just could not see past the fear box I had built around myself and my heart.  I think I thought I was taking care of myself and I was doing the best I knew how to do. Today I know better and more importantly my trust in God being there has grown.  There is less fear in my life because I know that God is bigger than any fear that I have.  This means there is more energy to take risks and try things out.  I don’t live by the rule that making a mistake means I am a mistake because I have opened my heart to God and become a witness to who I am in God.  I know in my heart and soul that whatever happens God can show me how love can grow from it because I have seen it happen with the circumstances of my life already.  If good can come from incest, self-hatred, and addiction, anything is possible.

My prayer for us is to be reminded that God is there even when we don’t want to be and life can be lived on this principle if nothing else today.

Are you willing to take a chance and live knowing that God is there no matter what today?  Share in the comments.
