Someday.

"It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're seventeen and planning for someday, and then quietly, without you ever really noticing, someday is today, and that someday is yesterday and this is your life." -One Tree Hill.
Sometimes I get super frustrated and want all the answers to every lingering questions in my head.  Then I think to myself, "One day I'll know it all, have it all and have everything figured out."  When I first heard the quote from above, it brings me back not to seventeen, but to twenty.  I wanted all the answers and I ignored my present time and lived for that "someday fantasy."  This past week it hit me as I was riding my bike home from school that there is no such thing as a day when it all comes together.  We will never have all the answers.  We will never stop growing.  Things will never stop changing.  Someday is today.  If we keep dreaming for "someday" we will miss today.  Today is the day to change things.  Today is the day to take a leap of faith.  Today is the day to raise your voice.  Today is the day to let it all go and take the hand of Jesus.  Today is the day to be faithful.  Today is the day to commit to whatever you've been putting off or avoiding.  Someday is today.  A single day can change your life if you open up and let it.  I pray we will all get the strength to take today and make it into the day that changes everything for us.
But I am trusting you, Oh Lord, saying, "You are my God!" My future is in Your hands, rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly. -Psalm 31:14-15


I prayed to the Lord, and He answered me.  He freed me from all my fears.  -Psalm 34:4

Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. -Psalm 37:3-4

Though they stumble, they will never fail, for the Lord holds them by the hand. -Psalm 37:24

  1. I love this.
    I had a similar experience after hearing a sermon on this topic.
    I was the person in college looking for "God's will for my life"
    I figured if I went to college long enough God would show me what He wanted me to do, and that from there I would reach that epiphany moment....
    The moment that God would reveal to me His ultimate will!
    Then this message got across to me...
    God has a will for us EVERY DAY.
    Instead of living for the future, pressing toward some unknown goal to figure out some Godly mystery, I need to pray that I am doing God's will TODAY. Every day. That we need to focus on here and now. Life is today! And today could be your last day! Something we all need to be reminded of time and again! Very well spoken<3
