One Day at a Time

"One Day at a Time"...not something I am good at, but I have learned that is the only way I can really live. You see, my nature is to plan things out so that I know where I am going and what I am doing. The problem I have found with this thinking is that life happens. When life happens, it messes up my schedule and plan. Notice, I said "my". We are only given today. We can't worry about the past, because it has passed and there is nothing you can do to change it. We can't worry about tomorrow because we don't know if we are even guarenteed tomorrow. We have to live in the moment trusting in the ONLY one who can get us through-my Savior, Jesus Christ!


I was given a Mandisa "True Beauty" CD. Track #4 - "Voice of a Savior" has spoken to me and I want to share the words of this song with you. I believe everyone of us has been at the point to where all we want is a little peace...


Some people try to listen to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen to another's arms

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated and lose the strength to carry on

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus
That's where I found it, how about you?


Be Blessed with the peace that only HE can give...
