i never really took notice of this day or even considered it important. but i particularly like this extra day we get this year because it came in a season of blessings and special treats from my father in heaven. i take it as no coincidence that so many special once-in-a-lifetime opportunities are coming at me from everywhere and i know it's the result of god's work in my life and my continuous desire to serve him, better.
and because this day is special here's some special links and things that really made me think this morning:
a few lessons learned in the past few weeks have taught me that i am my own worst enemy or my biggest cheerleader. i chose the latter.
there's no better thing than to walk in freedom. just to throw away the thoughts, put down the shackles and convince yourself that it will be ok. that you dont need to beat yourself up for hoping for something you didnt get. or for trying something that didnt work. for taking a step that failed and now you are stuck. or for giving your heart to the wrong gal or guy and now you realize it was a mistake. you are left broken and done. it's alright.
you know, it's even ok if you just cry a few tears. laugh a little. and move on.
this song almost brought me to tears this morning. as i realized how blessed i am. and how many people are struggling, real deal struggles. i am blessed. and i want to just smile.
