New Beginnings…a certain movement for practicing the Divine in the Daily. If it weren’t for do-overs I would be lost.
I find myself in a place I have been many, many times.
Starting over.
Have you been there?
Today I have decided to practice receiving. I am receiving Surrender. Surrender is a thing I have never quite been able to muster up or possess. Tightly gripped hands have been my go to more often than not. I’ve asked more times that I can count for God to pry my hands open and give me surrender. Although I believe the asking is right it has failed to work.
Just now, sitting under a sprawling oak tree, I felt a breeze and an invitation to receive. The whisper floated through my very being…”I am giving it to you as a gift.”
Head back, eyes closed, I whispered back, “Thank you.”
I think with a new beginning the imperative thing is to receive. I cannot fix what has been done. I can’t change the past nor control the future but right here in this moment I can receive…
Forgiveness
Surrender
Peace
The Do-Over.
Gratitude fills my heart. Knees hit the floor. I listen. I listen for the still small voice.
“Thank you Jesus” are the only words that come. “I am listening.”
A new beginning.
Yes, I think I’ll take it.
Finding the Divine in the Daily
