The Epiphany has passed, the New Year feels a little less fresh, and real life seems to be crowding in for me. The sweet lull I had felt earlier this month has passed, and everything is running full speed ahead. All I want is a little more space and time for calm.

The reality of my life right now -- and probably the lives of many of us -- mean that that space and time is hard to come by. But that doesn't mean I can't find God on my busy Monday. I remember what I so often have been told to do: Offer it up.

My frustration: offering it up.

The noise: offering it up.

My stresses, sorrows, loneliness: offering it all up.
