Dear God,

Conversion.  I never liked the word conversion because it sounded harsh, brutal and unforgiving.  Sounds like something about which I have no control.  

But the word popped into my head today and I began to look at it afresh.  Conversion...change, transformation, letting go, new life.  For some reason today it seemed like something else.  Suddenly, I felt less threatened and more open to what conversion can do in my life.

I thought about the changes in nature. Here in the springtime, I am watching things change every single day.  The flowers are taller, the trees are fuller and the birds are busy having babies, feeding them and pushing them out of the nest so they can fly.  The truth is I like what I see.

I realize you are doing the same thing inside me.  You are changing my heart, my mind and my soul.  I like it too.

Compassionate God,

thank you

for the

amazing gifts

of life.

Thank you

for never

leaving us

the same

old way.

Like nature

we need

change too.

Yours, Andrea
