I've been living off of a high the past 24+ hours in light of the good news I received from my doctor yesterday.  I feel like I can finally exhale. My lungs are full of air and the enormous pressure I carried on my shoulders for the past few weeks is lifted. I've learned a lot from this situation.  One lesson is that God is omnipotent and has the power to do whatever He chooses.  He has a plan for each of us.  And that plan plays out in our lives if we allow it to. Each situation we find ourselves in is a conduit to get us to a different place in our path. We have to grow, to stretch, to learn. There is some piece of maturity or growth that we will gain from going through one situation that will aid us in another. These lessons are often painful. We often repeat lessons because we did not learn or gain what was meant for us to acquire the first time. So I'm trying to pay attention this time. I'm not sure if I learned everything that was meant for me to learn. But I'm holding on to the realizations that I've acquired.

Another lesson I learned is that I need to be more serious about fulfilling the purpose that God gave me when He created me.  I need to focus. I know that when I do (sporadically) I am overwhelmed with fulfillment. I love to help those in need and that is the heart that God has given me. So I'm going in that direction.

I want to take a day...a day in the life of God. I want to spend a day focused on dealing with people from the viewpoint of the heart of God.  What is it like to spend a day and be loving and caring towards others on purpose? When you greet someone and ask the question, "how are you,"  really mean it and seek to know how that person is doing. Is there something I can do to improve it? How can I positively impact someone else's life? How can I be a blessing? So with some prayer, I will engage in an experiment of playing the "Loving God" role for a day. It will be interesting to see how people will respond when you do your best to be loving and caring toward them, looking for nothing in return. 

I'm not working tomorrow, but my son has his speech evaluation in the morning. I then have a meeting, and I'm scheduled to get my tattoo in the afternoon, followed by another meeting in the evening. Tomorrow will be interesting.
