I picked up Julia Cameron's book Faith and Will this past weekend. I can hardly get through a paragraph without feeling like she's inside my soul writing about the landscape there and providing hope. I want to share two short paragraphs from this morning's reading.
"Very often when we think about what we would like to have happen in our lives, we cast ourselves very far forward and out of the day we are in. No wonder everything seems so impossible and so difficult. We cast ourselves far into the future where we stand alone and buffeted, wondering where God is.
God works in the day that we actually have going on. God's miracles are miniature daily miracles. They are miracles of evolution and miracles of prograss. They are the small miracles that add up to large miracles. They are tiny steps that lead us in the right direction. If we want to find God, we need first to find ourselves. That is where God is. Right with us."
I am by nature a dreamer and live projecting into the future. No wonder when I throw out my net to catch God, I come up empty many times. Live into today. That is enough.
