day 7

Do you ever feel like you wasted a day?  

I don't think any of us ever want to live that way.  I don't think thats the way God wants us to live.  My friend Jane reminded me of that today as she talked about praying great prayers- the kind you're afraid to pray because you want it so badly.  What if God wants us to be apart of His Big Huge Wonderful Plan?  Would that day be wasted?  Would that day be the best day of your life? 

He wants us to ask Him.  He wants us to join Him. He gave us today, not tomorrow, today. 

Today is the day, the day you can live the way you've always wanted to live.  To pray that prayer that burns deep inside of you.  To run with the wind blowing in your hair.  To feel the breeze with your car windows down.  To say what you've been dying to say.  To sing at the top of your lungs.  To dance crazier than you've ever danced before.  To live.

I live believing that I don't know what tomorrow will bring, so I will celebrate Today.  Today I choose to love.  To love my God, Jesus Christ; to love my husband; to love the people God has placed in my life; to love the life I've been given- I wouldn't change a thing about my life- because I trust that God is in control.  Today is the day I live.

Today for me, it was a normal day.  It looked the same as every other Friday.  You may never be able to tell the difference.  But what you don't know, is that deep in my soul, today, today I lived!  

And it ends with a smile & a prayer...

Goodnight my friends.
