My "Why"

I was recently at a work conference in Rapid City and attended a breakout session on Attitude. This session was right after lunch and sometimes it is awfully hard to keep your eyes open when your tummy is full and your eyes are heavy. I was pleasantly surpised though with our Speaker Mike Oster. He instantly grabbed my attention and held it the entire hour and 15 minutes of the session. Although I could touch on all of his awesome points about how having a positive attitude can make such a huge difference in the outcome of your day to day activities, he brought up one point that really has stuck with me ever since.
As Mike talked about our professions he challenged each of us to ask ourselves WHY we do what we do. He compared it to an inquisitive child who after you give them an answer, they still ask why, and then why again. He went on to add that the why uncovers your true passion in life.  So I want to break down my WHY's of Rejoicing DAY:
I can picture Delaney asking me: "Mom why do you like to sew so much?"
"Because I love creating unique items."
why?
"Because I get to use this awesome talent that God blessed me with"
why?
Because I hope other people love them as much as we do"
why?
"Because I get to spend time with my mom that I will always treasure."
why?
"Because God's gift of you (my daughter Delaney) has inspired me to use my passion and I hope that one day it inspires you to dream big and follow your heart."

I truly feel God working in me everytime I sit down at my sewing machine. Sewing/Creating is my passion; but Delaney is my beautiful, loving, sweet, and perfect WHY:) Without her, I wouldn't be able to share my talents with you!

Why do you do what you do? Make it matter, make it count:)

REJOICE!
