Life goes by day by day, whether you wish it to or not.
Each day is a step. Each person takes a step at a time.
Some days you want to stop stepping, and stay in that place in time for ever, but day by day time goes on, and stepping you continue forward.
Some days you want to skip a step or two, and leap into the days to come, but patience is demanded, and stepping, one by one, you continue on.
Some days you wish to turn, avoid what stands before you. You continue forward,only turning as sharply as time allows. brushed on the shoulder by the branches of the tragedy as step by step you walk by.
Some days you wish to take steps backwards. To go back to a lovely field you walked through, or to wander through a romantic forest. To reminis on the steps before., but you must keep moving forward, each foot in front of the other, one by one, day by day.
When you get tired of stepping, there is not stopping. No rest for your legs, and each day must continue past. You need strong arms to carry you; some to know when you really can't continue. Arms of a savior. A savior with wisdom to remind you the past is not worth returning too. A savior with eyes, that can look past the mountain you're climbing and say, "I can see it, it's beautiful." With a hand to hold as the shadows of the woods enclose around you in the middle of the night. A savior like Christ Jesus, to give you a reason to step forward, to keep moving every day.
