Sometimes life is just hard.  There is an expression in 12 step language that is repeated a lot, “Simple, but not easy.”  That little statement has saved me more times than I can count.  When all things are working in accordance with how I think they should go it is easy. Allowing something to be simple is about being in accordance with God’s will.  I do not have to complicate things by taking the reigns.  I can slow down, pause, and ask God for help.  It is about trusting that what is accordance with God’s thinking is what works best.  Often I have to complicate things a little first before I am wiling to let go in accordance with peace.  I know that being in accordance with God’s perspective speaks to my heart when nothing else will.  It is the experience of knowing that something in the universe is interested in my care.  I do not have to jump through a bunch of hoops to experience what it means to be in accordance with the power of love, I just need to remember where that power lies within me.
