Dearest God,

One of my circle of friends, author Arianne Braithwaite Lehn, stated in her book Ash & Starlight, "Use this change in plans to be a change in heart."  When I read that, my soul was pricked this morning.  Use this change in plans...how many times has life thrown in a wrench creating a change in my plan?  So many, many times. What I realized moments ago is when the change of plans comes, I work to make everything the way it was instead of using that moment to propel me to change myself.  However, that plan rarely works for me.

On the other hand, when I have jumped into the boat of change because you shifted my plans, I find a new adventure awaiting me.  I discover scenes of untapped resources.  I am washed over with compassionate love.  Your spirit wind rushes to me, sweeps around me and I am filled with so much "new," new ideas, new courage and new faith.  This spiritual trip changes me and I fill with joy having circled the globe with you.

All glory
is due you,
Loving God.
You have
touched me again
and reminded me
how much
good comes
from trusting you.
I am blessed.
Let me
bless you.

Yours, Andrea
