"...I am fully alive and flying with faith soaring above the clouds creating what will be from what is not yet and meeting God in me and all around me. I dance with the doubt so I can fly with the faith."

Resolutions

When making those resolutions this week, remember that all Christ wanted was for us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and love God with all our heart, mind and soul.  Thinness, popularity, money...not on his to-do list.

So, if you are going to make a list of resolutions - make a "things to be list," and include on it - to be kind to friends and strangers and yourself, to be open to new things and ideas, to be a good caretaker of all creation, to be prayerful - not for anything, just to have conversations with God, to be open to the workings of God all around you and the opportunities that are present everywhere for you and the world...you get the idea.

I guarantee you that it will bring you all that you could possibly hope for, in ways not imagined.

Wishing all of you the blessings of the Christmas season, and many joys in the year to come!

Peace,
Chaplain Diana

    If you need more encouragement as to the power of paying attention and being open to the workings of the Holy Spirit all around you, then watch this...

    Now THAT is what can happen when we create a "to be" list...

    Blessings,
