The Best Day Ever

[mermindianhippi]

Oh man, today was the best day ever. Of course I'm incredibly used to meeting God in my contemplative way, through journalling and reflecting, etc. but then today I was blown away by meeting God through relationships. I sat at Starbucks for 8 hours, (not really unusual, it's like my second home) and talked with several girl friends. Now I've had a history of being a little bit of a loner, shyish and stuff, but then I started to realize (sometime last year I think) that fellowship is amazing...and today I got the full benefit of it. Each of the girls I saw today has such a sparkle about her, the conversation is good and God just shows me so much about life through them. Wow. Do you ever feel so full that you're going to explode, but you of course want more of the feeling because it's just so darn good? It's kind of like pizza...it tastes so good and you want a million slices, but that would be physically impossible without going into indigestion shock, heh. I like that! So to those girls in my life, that I saw today through coffee appointments or the ones that just stepped in and out of the conversation through random meetings, thank you. Thank you for loving me and making me feel like I matter. You are special and you made my day amazing.

It's like what Nichole Nordeman says (or sings) "I want to leave a legacy, how will they remember me? Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough to make a mark on things? I want to leave an offering, a child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name, unapologetically, and leave that kind of legacy."

Life is good, I can't imagine it without God, I mean I could never have planned it to end up like this, yeah!!!
