Today is the Day - Lincoln Brewster (with lyrics)

Often, I find myself blogging about struggles or battles within myself.  Today has a different vibe.  I feel really good... like amazingly good....think sunshine and rainbows good.  It is a feeling that I've experienced far too little of over the past year.    I've thought long and hard about my feelings and I think the answer lies in the activities and people I have surrounded myself in this week-end.  Its been a busy week-end in which  I've served others and spent some time being intentional with those around me.  I believe surrounding myself with others has been an extension of the healing in my heart that has taken place over the past several months.  I love this quote:

I don't say this to brag or to puff myself up with pride.  In fact, I fear that one day life will go back to serving, caring and loving others will feel like an obligation rather than an opportunity.  I've learned that life isn't about WHAT we DO because we can't earn God's love or favor.  Life is about WHY we DO it.  When our eyes are on our Savior our hearts desire changes WHAT we do to WHY we do it.
