My dearest God,

The more I follow you, the more I listen, the more I operate from your divine plan, the more joy I experience in daily life.  I see more, I hear more, I enjoy more, and I receive the blessing of having danced with you.

As I work in my sanctuary garden, the more I realize you had a plan for this plot of land a long time ago.  I am simply working with you in your garden.  When I rid the soil of tangling roots, when I rake away the dead of winter, when I put my spade in the ground to plant, I feel the pleasure of fulfilling your dream.  As I uncover tiny stems reaching for heaven from their burial ground, I know new life once again.

The closer I am to the ground, the more I recognize my need to work more closely with you.  I want to learn every dance step.  I don't want to stumble and fall or even worse miss a step.  When I place my whole self in your hands, I am confident all of me will move with all of you.  What more could I want in life?

Lead me,
Gracious God,
lead me
in the dance
of life.
Show me
the way.
Guide me,
I pray.
Let me become
a blessing
to you.
Let me reveal
your glory
in the world.

Love always, Andrea
