We may be open to a number of different things in our lives but how available are we for them?  It is the distinction between a possibility and a choice.  When we take on the premise of availability there is a level of commitment we are making.  I am open to all kinds of things but when you ask me am I available for, it becomes more concrete.  I may think something sounds like a great idea but will I make time for it?  Is it something I am willing to invest effort into or exclude other things so I can be available for it?  Will we be fully available to it or only present in body?  Therein lies the nuance of what availability indicates to us about our lives. On what level are we available?  Emotionally? Spiritually? Intellectually? Physically?  Or all of them.  Life requires energy to show up.  Our level of availability is a marker for how much of our energy we are willing to put into whatever we make ourselves available to or for.  Many of us do not take the time to connect and determine how available we really are and on what level.  We think we want the job, the guy, the house, or the attention.  But on what level are those elements asking us to show up?  God invites us to check in with our hearts on our availability.  There may be something our hearts want to be available to but something stands in the way.  Until we pause and listen in we may find ourselves doing one thing with our bodies and another thing with our heart.  Life takes courage.  The energy of courage lives in our hearts.
