How many times have you heard the saying "take it one day at a time?"
Like me, I wouldn't be surprised if you had heard it more than a few times! The first time I heard it was when my dad shared it with me. I was 8 years old, and it became my 'life verse' (Matthew 6:33-34.) The last few months, between the multiple holidays, bonus rounds of the flu being passed around the family, neighborhood, and Dr. offices, I spent more "set aside" time. Yet, this 'set aside time' was markedly different from the 4-5 months earlier in 2017 that I experienced. In the first 'set aside' time, I found my 'territory enlarged', meeting many new people as we spent hours together getting IV's. Many stories were shared, many lessons learned, many coping tips were traded. This second 'set aside time' has been a time of experiencing a deeper, stronger sense of what 'taking it one day at a time' can mean. On more than one occassion, I encountered the phrase: "The One". I have pondered for hours over the last few months what it means to live in the grace of "The One", the I AM; I have pondered how will I extend grace, to myself and others, as I to live in the ONE moment. What does it mean to "show up", to live in the PRESENT, to live in His Presence – every moment, every hour, every day? And, I had to learn, that when my plans for the 'ONE' day falls through, I need to look for 'The One's' adventure in store for me. For The One, The I AM, never fails.
