Stepping Into the space

Last Sunday Richard Beck was a guest speaker at Highland C of C. Admittedly, my first thought was "Uh oh, am I going to understand any of this?" Because quite frankly he is pretty brilliant and his intelligence is evident in his language and message. Yes, I know what you are thinking, Gretchen, you too are brilliant! Okay, yes, yes, I am. Haha! Even in my brilliance at times I need some things dumbed down for me to really track and allow to soak in.

Sunday the lesson was about finding God in the space between you and another person. This is great for me because I am very visual, so I can actually picture the space and imagine stepping into it. I've had that vision with me all this week. As I was climbing the stairs to the MFI clinic for the 3rd time yesterday, I thought about how blessed I am in my vocation as a therapist. I am given the opportunity to step into that space with those who are hurting on a daily basis. That space, where God is...if I can treat that space as God's dwelling imagine the amazing things He can do while we are there! Being brave enough to intentionally step into that space between myself and my clients, my peers, my family, and strangers, I believe that is how to change the world.

I want to challenge you to step into that sacred space between you and each person you encounter. Meet God in that space. What does it look like for you?

Blessings on your day and on the space between you and me.
