I have noticed an interesting dichotomy about myself. I am very organized in certain ways and messy in others. I have let go of needing to fix it and stepped into acceptance. I am sure there are deep psychological reasons or not, either way, I do not need to spend a lot of time navel-gazing to figure it out. I have surrendered to the idea that if and when the time comes for me to address what has seemingly gone awry in my reality, I will know. When my heart tugs at me to take a closer look at what is awry I may find myself fearful or even resistant. Most likely the resistance will not last long. Learning to trust my heart because of my daily dates with God has shown me that whatever looks awry is often a gift. Whatever appears to the world as imperfect or a problem is simply a matter of misperception. It is often in the things labeled as awry according to my mind that I have simply not allowed the lens of my heart to view. I am less concerned by the form of what has gone awry than the state of my heart. If something I am doing or being is in opposition to the truth of who I am I will commence by taking a look. God guides my hand to my heart, encourages me to breathe through the fear or resistance, and reminds me that whatever is awry is not who I am.
