~~It's a Great Day to be Alive~~

You ever just feel good about yourself? Ever have one of those days where your inner person is dancing around? Do you dance?

I love to dance. It's hard to dance while driving down the highway and I'm sure many of those driving along with me would prefer that I not, so I do it all on the inside. But I'm serious. Do you ever see your inner person dancing around?

Today is one of those days. There's nothing particular that has happened. It's just one of those days. The sun isn't all the way up yet, but it looks gorgeous from here. My daughter made me breakfast this morning. I feel positive.

There's been alot of prayer lately. Based on a couple of events, I made some decisions that actually took time away from God instead of better correct the problem. I've since corrected that. Recently the study has been over Daniel.

Now I grew up with Daniel and one would think I would know it all. (left those teenage years a long time ago....) I found there were thinks that must have been forgotten. I had no idea they changed his name from one that reflected God to one that reflected paganism. The King said 'tell me my dream....and THEN tell me what it means'. Okay, no challenge there. On top of that, Daniel had the Faith that God would not just show Him the dream but that He'd also give him the interpretation. Who here is that gutsy? Who here has that much faith? Truly?

My view point has changed a bit. Life is rarely easy. This must mean that God gives us challenges to shape us into what He wants us to be. You know the whole, "I will purge you like dross..." (and make us shiny!) Makes one think....then it's not cause He hates us this happens, it's to grow us. Oh, how much growing I still have left to do!
