Sometimes we get so attached to outcomes. We think or project things have to go a certain way. Sometimes we get so attached to the outcome that we dont pay attention to how it feels. We may be focused so much on marrying the person were dating, we forget to pay attention to whether or not we really like or love him or her. We may be so interested in getting a book of photographs published and achieving fame that we cant recollect if we have any passion for what were photographing. We may be so focused on everyone congratulating us for hosting such a wonderful party that we forget to relax and have fun during the party. Were putting in the effort, but were trying to control the flow and the way the thing turns out. God is in the details, a writing teacher once said. What he is talking about was paying attention to each little detail: the color of the sky, the texture of the couch, the nuances of the feelings of the main character, the twinkle in her eye. Theres another way to interpret this saying though. Thats to trust that God is present and interested in the details of our lives. Know what your dreams are and pay attention to what you want. But focus in the details of your life, how you feel each moment, the details of what you do. Dont be so attached to outcomes that you forget how much fun it is to live. Remember that God is in the details, especially in how things work out. God, help me be clear with you and myself about what I want in life. Help me to be present in the details of each moment of each day, doing what I do with passion.
