today is the tomorrow that we worried about yesterday..

i must say that im feeling a mix of emotions right now. on the one hand, it feels very nice being back home again. but on the other hand, i feel a bit like a foreigner here. maybe it's just the jetlag of the 3 hour trip, but it seems like i havent been back here in months..

lately, ive been spending some time thinking about my past. what does it mean to truly live a life of no regrets? and is it even possible?

i mean, i know for a fact and without a doubt in my mind that everything happens for a reason. i know that through all our experiences, God allows us to not only learn more about Him, but also learn more about ourselves. i know all this.

but still, i found it nearly impossible not to wonder about all the "what if's" of my past. so many different scenarios with so many different outcomes clouded my thoughts..

..until today. on the way home from austin, carolyn popped in a switchfoot cd, and this song played..

This Is Your Life
by Switchfoot

yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

yesterday is a kid in the corner
yesterday is dead and over

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life are you who you want to be
this is your life are you who you want to be

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

and you had everything to lose

i gotta focus on TODAY. not YESTERDAY. today is all i'll ever have..
