Dear God,

Your whisperings on the mountain paid off. I found myself in a usual family situation. Routine, the way it almost always happens. I remembered my learnings, attempted to conduct myself in a new manner. All the same pressures, tensions, conflict, but I didn't buy into it. At least not much. Minutes later I had already surrendered it. Later in the day my family member and I talked. Opened up much more. I felt tender hearted.

It all played out so differently. I was different handling the situation. The other person did the same things, but I had changed. My change allowed a new space for the other person. Wow!

I continually am amazed at how much you care for us, each one. Your generous loving spirit gives so much room for transformation which leads to joy and peace. Even new beginnings!

Listening, truly listening for your voice, taking your wisdom to heart, following obediently pays great dividends. And the joy of bringing you delight overwhelms me with greater joy.

You are God of the mountain,
of the desert,
of my heart.
I sing your praise.
Today and always.

Love, Andrea
