I always tell people I’m taking it one day at a time. Sure it’s a cliché, but it is the truth.. Whether going through valleys or climbing mountain-tops, all I can do is keep moving forward and live each day to the fullest as a child of God. Now that doesn’t mean that I don’t plan for the future and get the wheels in motion to accomplish what is to be done; rather it means as my favourite Bible verse states:

“Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?” –Luke 12:25-26

Such simple words and yet I am more guilty than most of not abiding by it. I don’t worry such that I get stomach ulcers but I think & re-think that which has happened, is happening and will (might) happen. Basically I take my eyes off Christ and focus on the world around me or worst still on myself!

One day at a time, I will walk this road I’ve traveled so far
One day at a time, well I know I will carry on
One day at a time, I can see you took my life this far
One day at a time, I will take this faith along

All this hope I breathe is given by the hand that carries me
Until I'm complete and I’ll take all I will
To understand this plan you have for me, for me

I've been shut up, shut down, held out, held down
In ways I never knew I would
I can't feel your fullness in my life
Well I’ve been burned out, broken, torn out, torn down
In ways I never knew I would
I can't feel your fullness in my life

One day at a time, I will take these words you've given me
One day at a time, I will rest in knowing you
One day at a time, I will share this gift you've given me
One day at a time, I will walk these valleys through

All I know is that I see how much my heart
Is longing to be cradled by your side
And I’ll give all I can to one day soon
Be held by your hand, by your hand

In all these things I will press on
I'll be with you I know it won’t be long

--Jeremy Camp ~ One Day at a Time

It won't be long, that is definitely true...What are my 75+ years on earth (if I am lucky!) compared to eternity?

"As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone,and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children...." -Psalm 103:15-17
