no day but today

:: i've been learning a lot about the fruitlessness of regret. regret seems to have infected my life this past year. why? i cant do anything about it yet these thoughts of what i should have done continue to roll through my mind. ridiculous things! things from years ago that are long gone. i've grown bitter toward myself for the decisions i've made. thank goodness my Jesus doesn't hold my bad decisions against me! and that everyday is a new day with new opportunity. it's not about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow. it's about what i am going to do with today. what will i create? will i hold on to regret, aggravated with past situations or will i wish the day away hoping for tomorrow? i want to BE HERE NOW. i just want to be. i want to let go. i want to be free. free of regret.

:: the Lord has brought amazing people and amazing opportunities my way and i wonder how much of life i've missed out on by not allowing myself to be completely immersed in the moment. that's my goal this year. to just be. be where i am with the people i'm with in the places i find myself. living as though there's only this.

there is no future
there is no past
thank God this moment's not the last

there's only us
there's only this
forget regret
or life is yours to miss.
no other road
no other way
no day but today

there's only yes
only tonight
we must let go
to know what is alright
no other course
no other way
no day but today

i can't control
my destiny
i trust my soul
my only hope
is just to be

there's only now
there's only here
give in to love
or live in fear
no other path
no other way
no day but today
