dailydatewithgod

All around us from all spiritual and philosophical realms we are reminded of the power of the present moment.  I find when a particular message comes to me in multiple forms there must be something trying to get my attention.  Living in the now is one of those.  Until I got into recovery I had no idea how much time I spent in the past and the future. I was spending a lot of time in my head about times I was not physically in and from which I could take no action in my life. Talk about a powerless place to be. No wonder I felt so defeated by life. I found the only way I could get through the day without turning back to the habits of eating and hating myself was to take it one day at a time. It is simple but not easy to stay in this day.  My daily dates with God are an opportunity to embrace the day I am in with confidence and a reminder of its elemental force. Today is the day I am given to live from and be the power of love for myself and others.  I cannot be in the past or the future.  It is about my head and my feet being the same place.  I cannot change the past or make anything happen in the future except from the day I am in.  If I am in my head and not where my feet are the thoughts I am thinking about the past or future have no action, no life, attached to them because my feet are not there.
