One day soon I will lose that blasted weight that just. won't. budge. I mean seriously, its like my body is saying a roll of thin mints is unhealthy or something?? Geesh...
One day soon I will walk into a spotless kitchen and sigh with the simple pleasure of shiny, fingerprint-less appliances and relish in the sheer beauty of my organized pantry.
One day soon I will have the money for a brand spanking new car with all the bells and whistles... and not only that, but it will not have any french fries, stickers, legos, goldfish, or rotting milk cups hiding in the craziest places. It will be glorious.
One day soon I will not only get a daily devotional with my God, and truly dig deep into His word, but I will also get through my long list of books waiting to be read... I will read and read and read... Truly it is a dream of mine to read and not ever stop. One day soon...
One day soon... I will look back with my uninterrupted nights, my brand new car, my spotless kitchen, and my booklist that has been checked off and I will be desperate for TODAY. For right now.
Today is messy. Today is crazy. Today makes me want to pull my hair out. But TODAY, is all I will want when it is over. This is what we are made for... For right now.
So I am going to drive my old, stinky car, send a quick prayer up, because honestly, it is all I can manage right at this moment. I will wake up 2-3 times tonight and tend to my family, and I will eat another roll of thin mints... because, lets face it, life is too short for lettuce all the time.
Today I will look at the fingerprints covering every inch of my house and hold back the tears... because I know one day they will be gone. And that day, will not be all its cracked up to be... I am sure of it.
So for all of you "one day's"... you can just hold your horses, I am living for TODAY.
And may we ALL work to relish TODAY and ALL of it's craziness! Thanks for the reminder to cherish TODAY because it will be gone FAR too soon!
