The circumstances in which we find ourselves often catch us by surprise.  No matter how much forethought we put into something we did not imagine it ending up like it has.  Perhaps we did not take the long view or there were too many possibilities of which we could not conceive. I know I have often spent a lot of energy trying to figure it out, but it is a waste.  I find that coming from a convicted place of trust in God that no matter what I am facing, I can get through. I trust it will be used to expand my capacity to love.  God’s conviction about my growth in love is all that matters.  I suppose it is what creates the underlying conviction that everything happens for a reason. The conviction of the presence of love in all things and all circumstances is the reason.  I do not pretend to understand how or why love works but I do know it is the residing force that guides the universe.  My part is to show up, be the presence of love or ready to grow in love whatever it looks like in the moment.
