One Day at a Time

This past week has been crazy busy. I was sick, had three papers due, a test to study for and take, and a church lesson to prepare. In the middle of the week I got a card from home which had a poem on it I wanted to share.

One Day at a Time by Emily Matthews

Whatever the goal we're pursuing,

no matter how rugged the climb, 

We're certain to get there

by trying out best, 

and taking one day at a time...

"Forever" is hard to imagine, 

"the future" may seem far away - 

But every new dawn

brings a wonderful chance

to do what we can on that day.

As you reach for the goals

that you want to achieve

may you find all the strength that you need

to meet every challenge one step at time

till the day when you proudly succeed.

I think this is a principle we all have to apply to our lives all the time. Life gets so busy that there's just no way to get everything done at once. When we're faced with assignments and tasks that just seem to mount over us, if we take them one by one everything will work out better. And no matter what, things always work out. We may not think so when we're in the thick of a bad week, but they will, we just have to hold on and have faith. So assignment by assignment I made it through the week and managed to get everything done. Now it's time for a brand new week and it can't be much worse than the last. Bring it on.
