Why?

Post to Twitter

Have you ever looked back and wondered why in the world you ever did that? I have been doing that a lot lately..perhaps it’s because it’s nearing the end of my senior year or perhaps because I learned a little about the importance of things..but I have realized my dream to live highschool with no regrets turned out to be anything but that. Now, granted..I made a lot of right choices and have some memories I will keep forever. But I also have pain and hurt that will probably never go away. There are certain feelings that no matter how far removed you become, never go away. I wish I had listened to those people who tried to tell me this would happen. But I thought I knew it all..I thought if I made the right decisions, it would work. Ha..now I’m left with a great deal of problems I could have avoided. But God is the ultimate healer and forgiver. When He looks at me, He sees a clean slate. He sees me pure and clean. How amazing is that! yeah..my friends remember all the mistakes I’ve made, and they will at times rub salt into my wounds..but Christ-He’s the one the comes and heals it completely. He says, “I Love You” and no one can change that. He takes my regrets and turns them into victories. I am so thankful that I serve a God like that..I wouldn’t trade it for anything. And I hope that you realize how amazing the God is that we serve. Whatevr is on your plate..He loves you and He will never leave you..not ever.

Just a thought..

    "He takes my regrets and turns them into victories."

    What an awesome reminder! Praise God for that! We'd all be in sad shape if that weren't true. But you know, it's awesome that you aren't dwelling on your mistakes. your finding a way to praise God for how much He helps you through those. Something I need to work at more. I tend to mess up, then give up. Thanks for the great reminder! I love you!

    That is just beautiful, and oh so true!

    Have you heard Sara Groves song "Less like Scars" ?

    By the way …just for laughs I thought I'd tell you … your music made me jump again. First I jump, then realize it's your blog, then look and see it's YOUR blog and wonder ..when am I going to stop this? LOL
