I don't want to stay anywhere forever. I'm a lot fonder of beginnings and endings than middles. I figured out recently that one of the reasons it's so hard to talk to God and to listen to God is because God lives in the present, in the middles. To communicate with Him you have to be entirely in the present. When I'm trying to talk to God, my thoughts will drift and suddenly I'm thinking about something earlier that day or I'm formulating thoughts in head about how to talk to someone the next day, etc. When you're talking to someone in front of you, you can let your mind wander to the past and future without getting too far behind in the conversation, especially while they're talking. Multi-tasking! But when you're talking to God, you have to actually concentrate 100% on the conversation, or you won't hear Him. And we don't like to concentrate 100% on the now, the present moment. We live our whole lives waiting for the next cool thing to come along, and along the way, we forget to actually live, even for a moment.

So talk to God today. And stay completely in the present moment. And listen. For bonus points, don't talk about anything relating to the past or future. Simply talk about how awesome He is, right now, in the present.

I'm praying for you!
