Thoughts on a Sunday

I want to write so much right now... I have had such an amazing week, God has been so prevalent and so beautiful and I just don't know what to do except praise Him.
I'm trying to wrap my head around everything but to give the short version, I think I've found my heart again. Granted, I'm still healing and it's still going to take time, but God is molding it.

For the first time in awhile I realized that life isn't about me. I've been trying to fix my heart and praying and asking for it to be fixed, but when I let go of it and just do what He wants, which is to give my heart to others; to listen, to carry their burdens, and to love them, my heart heals.

I had this sudden epiphany yesterday for a class project. I actually wasn't going to do the project, I was going to lay back, cop out and do an analytical paper because I didn't want to mess with this huge project... but I think God has laid something on my heart when it comes to a certain group of people.

I'm not for sure how this is all going to work out, so I won't go into details yet, but there is something stirring in my heart and I cannot wait to see what happens.
Between talking with a few friends lately, hearing and giving encouragement, and feeling my heart, I have this sudden vivacity for life again.

"Love"

When our hope is hard to find
And our faith is in decline
We need a cause to stand behind - love
We all want the way it feels
Time it comes and time it steals
What remains, what is real - love

There is love
There is forgiveness
There is love in times of need
When life is cold there is a promise
You will never go without
There is love...

It heals the sick
Comforts the weak
Breaks the proud
Raises the meek
In this life no guarantees

Love is the answer
Love will find a way
When we love one another
It's a brighter day
