My life is pretty glamourous

Today is one of those days where I am pretty much loving life. I'm not sure if I'm still on my runner's high or maybe it's the caffeine that I've just ingested through my coffee cup, but seriously I am feeling like I am on top of the world.

I literally should not be blogging right now. I should probably be doing the tutorial homework that I forgot about until about - oh 15 minutes ago. Or I should be finishing my research matrix (yes it is as scary as it sounds) for my clinical application project on Friday. Not to mention the video reflection paper that I need to write for my group, the case study which I have yet to start, nor the numerous pages of readings that I stopped looking at months ago. Yet, I am filled with such a peace, a calmness, an overflowing love that just cannot break my spirit.

Despite all of that junk, each morning I wake up and get to spend time at the gym and with my Savior. I then get to go to class and play with kids, socialize with friends, and learn about my career. Afterwards, I have the ability to be productive and even do homework. And believe it or not, I always manage to make it to bed around 10 PM. My days are packed and long, but I seriously have the best life.

On top of all that, each week I get to have fellowship with other Christians where we can build each other up and pray for one another.

I'm also learning what it means to love like Jesus loved. It's not easy, but it's so worth it.

I'll leave you with this:

Real love is an action, not a feeling. It produces selfless, sacrificial giving. The greatest act of love is giving oneself for others.
