shut out the worries of tomorrow

I'm learning how much I have to learn, how little I know, how fragile my understanding is. I'm learning to be thankful and patient... Today is all that we will ever have in this life. If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed. The wise man seeks God in the now and brings both his regrets and fears before Him. The freedom that we are offered is truly amazing: to live, today, free from even our own fallen desires. This is where I want to be. -jon foreman

bear with me...i just love jon foreman's quotes. they are always so deep and thought provoking. he has such a simple yet complex understanding of our faith, the lord, and human nature. Anywhoo's just though i'd share this one last one tonight.

live for the moment & Love Love Love.

I mean, Jon said that "I'm learning how much I have to learn" which states that the more he knows, the more he realizes that he has so much more to learn. So, if you begin to realize the extent of the human nature, along with the moral and ethical codes, along with the idea of a deity who is perfect, then you've learned something huge, but only tasted a drop of ocean.
