The thing about surrendering the way we see things to God and opening to how God sees is it’s too simple.  We think in order to let go of our imaginings and envision something more we have to reconstruct our lives with the flip of a switch.  Our whole lives will be altered in a single moment never to go back to what we were seeing before.  Envisioning is about being in possibility.  Envisioning is about hoping.  Envisioning is about heart.  Our minds tell us we must know all the minute details and have it all figured out before we can engage in possibility.  Seeing as God sees allows us to play by envisioning what could or might be.  It engages our hearts and our spirits to puts around and see what it can come up with.  God not only invites us to begin envisioning what the heart sees around us, but trust it will happen.  We are afraid if we let go of whatever certainty we claim to have the bottom will fall out from underneath us.  We forget that God is there holding the spaces of imagination. When we step like a child into God’s playground, there is not room for fear only learning and exploration.  Envisioning allows us to hope and peek at what is possible.  Envisioning allows us to breathe and be touched by the moment.  Envisioning makes room for what is sometimes unspoken out of fear.
