One Day at a Time

About a month ago, I accidentally knocked the radio dial on my alarm clock to a country station. I kept meaning to turn it back but didn't. I kind of like it now though and don't plan on changing it back-- the songs remind me of stuff going on in my own life and the music is growing on me. This morning the first words I heard some country star singing were "take it slow." Sometimes I wish I could hurry up and get my life back in order, but it has definitely been one piece at a time for me. My Aunt Jacque sometimes sends me a text that reminds me to breathe. It's funny because every time she sends it I realize I'm holding my breath stressing out over something and so I just let it out and relax. I realize that today has enough trouble of its own, so why focus on what I can't do yet? I like taking one day at a time. I can relate to a lot of Jeremy Camp's early songs when he lost his wife to cancer and I like what he says in his song," One Day at a Time":
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
But I can feel your fullness in my life
Well I've been burned out broken torn out torn down
In ways I never knew I would
But I can feel your fullness in my life

one day at a time

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

And all I know is that I see
How much my heart is longing to be cradled by your side
Yeah, I'll give all I can
To one day soon be held by your hand, by your hand

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus Repeats]

Goodnight to you all.
