BEST DAYS -- not good, but great!

I find myself living the best day of my life....everyday. Yes, life is beautiful. Most days something significant happens (i.e. Auryan Rose, my niece was born, I ran a half marathon through the Redwoods, etc.). Dreams are being fulfilled. Prayers answered. Father is lavishing me with His love. Through friends. Through natural beauty (Spring in Redding is absolutely glorious!). Through music. And while all those things carry the potential to bring me pure bliss and enjoyment, even in the absence of all those things, even when there is nothing significant to mark the day with, I still have a best day! Because its not about those things. It is, but it isn't. Let me explain. Its about loving and being loved. I was made for love. And when I allow myself to be loved I am able to receive love. I am only able to love to the extent that I am able to receive love. I find myself surrendured to love. No longer rejecting His love. No longer withholding my love. Its a beautiful exchange. And when love is present, everything is beautified. Its like I am looking at life through love coloured glasses. Yes, great things are happening. But even when the day would have seemed dull, love is exciting! Love never fails. Love always makes a way. Love covers all. Love casts out all fear. Love is being perfected. It is impossible not to have a best day when the God of the universe loves you! Think about it...our job is just to be loved. That's it! We dont have to do anything else! Jesus already did it all. Now we get to rest in Him and be loved. Aaaah, beautiful! So be loved. Let love take you on adventures into pure bliss and ecstasy all the days of your life. Sit back , relax, know you are loved outrageously, and have the best day of your life!

PS- I will post updates on my trip to Africa soon. Sorry to all who have been breathlessly waiting...I've been busy having the best days of my life.

13.1 miles through the Redwoods...best day of my life!
