I recently read an article that gave me a thought I need to hang onto. We are all works in progress.
Because God works through all of creation, I know these words were meant for me to hear as my judgment thermometer has been on the rise. So has the scale….I wonder about the correlation?

God has taken different forms for me over time. As the separation between me and all creation dissolves, I identify God as breath. The same Creator who breathed life into the earth still breathes within me today.

Today, I’m putting my laziness aside and listening to the voice of God who wants my temple to be cared for the way it was intended. A body meant for movement, love, and care, not abuse, judgment, and sloth. Where my physical core, my foundation is strong and allows for stability in the rest of my body. Today, I’m breathing in life.

God, Your breath created me and all of creation. A breath that continues to this very day, bringing healing and hope to this moment. A breath that is woven into future generations. A Breath that is shared by ALL.

This year I need to slow down, build some resilience, and continue to turn to what’s important. It’s so easy for me to default to busyness and the hustle to prove my worth. I’m observing that this is a sign for me to stop and step up my contemplative practice.

As we ponder another new year, I want to extend an invitation to you to dream a little. To take a few minutes to escape the demands of the world and stoke the fire that lives in your heart.

A place where I learned to be comfortable in the darkness and where expectations got shattered so I could live in expectancy. The dark is the place where the struggles of my life are the crosses that I carry, where the burden is heavy and my heart cries out for help. Where I secretly hope someone might ease my burden and help me along the way. But I must remain strong.
Or that’s what I keep telling myself.
The shimmering light calls me forward to resurrection and rebirth. Where I become a modern Mary where my “Yes” deepens with every breath I take. Each inhale expands gratitude and humility. I see with clarity how I’m running the marathon between my head and my heart. A race where generosity and love win with every breath I take.
Lord, thank you for a new generous life where I see clearly each day.
Jesus complains when the crowds use worldly standards to size him up. They are caught up in their opinions and all too easily pass judgment on Him. They accuse Jesus of being possessed by a demon, a drunkard, and so on.
