dailydatewithgod

I have a mind convinced in its almighty ability to figure things out.  It is incessant and I fall for the illusion almost every time that if I think about and ponder something long enough, I will come up with a solution.  On my daily dates with God I begin by writing to God and turning over the thoughts and activities for the day.  It is my attempt to release that which I have planned and make room for God to come in and show me my purpose in those and perhaps unknown opportunities of the day.  Releasing my ideas about anything are not easy but I have enough experience around surrender that my willingness will pop up eventually.  More often than not, what I need to release is what I think about what is happening , what happened, or what may happen.  The experience itself is inconsequential, the judgment I carry over myself based on how I show up for it is what dictates my presence in the moment.  It is my constant prayer to be guided to release my thinking about me and everyone and everything.  God, show me how you see this?  God, what is your thinking on me in this moment or this situation? It is my hope that in my attempt to release, all the while not being sure I am even really surrendering, God will see the intention in my heart and receive it.
