Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is this:
Click on the link below. Don't read the below the blue lines before you click.
You have three seconds to look at the photo you'll see, and memorize three blue objects.
Close the photo and read on.
You're on your honor to time your three seconds, but that's the challenge: three blue object in three seconds.
Ready?
Click right here.

Now - without looking back - what was the one yellow object?
Wait, you didn't see it? Neither did I, the first time I was presented this little challenge. That's because our brains are designed to filter our realities. We only focus on what we deem to be important in that moment. In other words, we're never seeing a full reality - we only view life through our own perceptions. And whether we realize it or not (we usually don't!) our focus is very narrow. If we tell ourselves we aren't good enough, aren't loved enough, aren't lucky, that is what our brain will be wired to see. If we tell ourselves thing will never change or there is nothing we can do about a current situation, then that is what our brain will be wired to see.
Can we make a shift? With intention and practice, look at our ourselves, our neighbors, and our world through God's eyes: a world deemed "very good" at every turn. And from the perspective of Jesus: a perspective that leads with love, believes with hope, and expects miracles, even when we can’t imagine how they will unfold. Oh, the possibilities!
My prayer for you this week is to see yourself, those around you, and the world with God's eyes and with the heart of Jesus. May you see love, hope, and possibilities at every turn.
Blessings,
Jennifer
