Each day begins waiting for its story to be written. Some of that story is the result of our decisions and actions as it unfolds. There will always be parts of that story that will be out of our control. You simply get to do your best while trusting God to invest His presence in our journey. Much of what is recorded here is an effort to reflect on any given day. I am still fully aware you can find many blogs far better in terms of grammar or topics. Sometimes we get lucky with some amount of coherent thoughts to put on this site. Honesty is a valued trait in such blogs but too much of it can be a detriment as well. Maybe the word honesty is not the best description. Vulnerable is closely related to that idea. Chances are very good that your response to raw writing here would be unfavorable. Many of my thoughts or feelings will remain secluded so there is less room for misinterpreting those ideas.

Each day ends as we rest up for the next day's adventure. Some tell us that we get a clean slate every morning. I suppose this is true in some regards. We do possess the freedom to make new decisions on a daily basis. But there are also many areas of our life that limit the effect of that clean slate philosophy. Constantly building a good life requires the ongoing discipline of choosing wisely. Our past as well as our future can shape the outcome of each day. It is true that we can live beyond the mistakes of yesterday but this does not mean those errors just disappear. We may even take the option of not worrying about the future but even that decision can put off the future forever. Tomorrow morning we each receive the gift of the new day. How do we make it the best it can be?

The best advice that comes to mind is to make each day one of discovery. God can and does offer us answers concerning even the smallest details of our existence. It could very well be that on one day that guidance will offer healing for the failures in your past. Another day might find God at work to bring you into the future of His creation. Still another day could be focused on the present tense as you hear Him speak. You will have stuff that fills your calendar to be sure. Work, family, leisure and so many other aspects of human reality calls for constant attention. Try to recall that the eternal God is extremely interested in each role of your life. He is not just concerned about your religious area of you as a person. Divine interaction contains as many possibilities as you have facets as a person.

Tomorrow will begin very soon. Some will move through it without any thought as to its meaning. There will be those who face excruciating stress that will make it a moment by moment struggle. Others may breeze right on into the next day without a care in the world. God gives us this special gift not so we coast by unsure of our heading. He is still and always will be the one to make our days count. Don't let guilt or anxiety steal the joy out of your world. Learn to make every day matter with His help.
