i don't know what's gonna happen... that's alright with me

So many times the music, the words, and just the sheer brilliance that is Ms. India.Arie speaks.  Speaks to me.  Speaks to the struggle at hand.  Speaks to my desire, my hope, my prayer.  On each of her albums, there are certain tracks that have become my continual prayer through different seasons.  Here it is right now... for today.

Just For Today (Embrace the Mystery)

by India.Arie

from Testimonty: Vol 1, Life & Relationship

Just for today
I will not worry what tomorrow will bring, no
I’m gonna try something new and walk through this day
Like I’ve got nothing to prove, yeah
Although I have the best intentions
I can't predict anyone's reactions
So I’ll just do my best
I'll put one foot in front of the other
Keep on moving forward
And let God do the rest

I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery

Just for today 
I’m telling the truth like it's going out of style
I'm gonna swallow my pride and be who I am
And I don’t care who don’t like it, yeah
I feel the fear but I do it anyway
I won't let it stand in the way
I know what I must do
There’s no guarantee that it’ll be easy
But I know that it’ll be fulfilling
And it's time for me to show improve

It’s okay not to know
Exploration is how we grow
It’s okay to not have the answer
'Cause sometimes
It’s the question that matters

I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
I don’t know what’s gonna happen
That’s alright with me
I open up my arms and I embrace the mystery
