A Posture of Openness


No words are needed -- this cat's position conveys openness and trust at a glance. So simple for a kitten, and so difficult to me. I plan. I'm proactive. I strive. I like to be busy. Needed. Over-committed even. White space makes me uncomfortable. I'm a Christian but I haven't given God much room to work. Until now. I've heard God can't drive a parked car. I'm not in "park" -- I'm in "neutral." I'm so used to "drive." I don't have the "I'm too busy" excuse to hide behind. I'm trying to be like this trusting little feline -- open to what's next. Trusting that it will be good. Safe in a vulnerable posture because I'm God's child. He is faithful.
