You are calling me to a life of constant communion with You. I am learning to live above my circumstances, even while interacting on that cluttered plane of life.
I was yearning for a simplified lifestyle, so that my communication with You could be uninterrupted. However, You are challenging me 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 am enjoying, beyound words, talking to You about every aspect of my day, including my feelings. I am being made more and more aware that I do not need to control or fix everything around me, but that my ultimate goal is to keep communicating with You.
A now view a successful day is one in which I have stayed in touch with You, even if many things I had hoped would get done, remained undone at the end of the day.
I will not let my to-do list (written or mental) become an idol directing my life. Instead, I am asking Your Spirit to guide me moment by moment to keep me close to You, and focused on Your plans for my life today.
