Each Tick is Precious!

Life is so amazing right now, I just don't want to miss a second of it! It just feels so alive with Christ! And the best part is that I'm living right here, right in the moment. At my Bible study last night, I closed our session in prayer. In it, I said something to the effect that God is everywhere (past, present, and future), but we are only in the present so that's the only place we can be with Him! Today, thinking back on that prayer, it reminded me of a song:
Miracle of the Moment
by Steven Curtis Chapman

It’s time for letting go
All of our if only’s
‘Cause we don’t have a time machine
And even if we did
Would we really want to use it?
Would we really want to go change everything?
‘Cause we are who and where and what we are for now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

Chorus:
So breathe it in and breathe it out
Listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
And I don’t want you to miss
The miracle of the moment

There’s only one who knows
What’s really out there waiting
In all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He’s out there waiting
To Him the future’s history
And He has given us a treasure called right now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

And if it brings you tears
Then taste them as they fall
And let them soften your heart
And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go, let it go
You gotta let it go
Listen to your heartbeat

All for now (I think),
Lisa
