You are calling me to a life of constant communion with You. The basics of my training includes learning to live above my circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of my life.
I yearn for a simplified lifestyle, so that my communication with You can be uninterrupted. But I need to challenged by You to relinquish the fantasy of an uncluttered world. I am learning to accept each day just as it comes, and find You in the midst of it all.
I want to talk with You about every aspect of my day, including my feelings. I am finding myself relaxing in the knowledge that my ultimate goal is not to control or fix everything around me, it is to keep communicating with You.
I am learning that a successful day is one which I have stayed in touch with You, even if many of the things I want to accomplish remain undone at the end of the day.
I am realizing that my to-do list (written of mental) had become my idol, directing my life. But I am training myself to ask Your Spirit to guide me moment by moment. By focusing on God within me as guide, He is keeping my thoughts close to You.
