I have not blogged in awhile. It is final exam week and I have been really stressing out and studying as much as possible. Tonight is my last final exam and I will be finished for the semester. Thank you Lord for getting me through this semester! There were definately times when I questioned whether I would make it or not.
So, Last night, I was reading a blog of an old college aquaintance of mine and she had blogged about regret. In her blog, she said she hates it when people say they don't regret anything in their life because they wouldn't be where they are today if they hadn't made those choices. I agree with her. If I could have some do-overs, I would do them in a second! I have made some really bad choices in my life. I have been through some things, that quite frankly, I wouldn't go through again if I could change it. I believe I went through some of those things because of my own stubbornness and my own sin. I was rash in making some decisions, I didn't pray through some things before I went barrelling ahead. At the end of her blog, she challenged herself to start thinking before she made a choice, " where will this decision land me in 10-15 years"...
I've decided to take her advice. I would like to start taking a little bit more time when I make a decision. I would absolutely like to start praying a little longer before making a decision.
Don't get me wrong, there are also things that I wouldn't change in my life for all the money and fame in the world. I am so glad I married my husband after only 11 months of being together. Some people may call that rash, but he is my perfect match and I truly believe I got God's best in that department! I don't regret going back to school after all that time of being a working woman :).. I know that that is a decision that will land me somewhere great in 10-15 years.
But since I can't go back and change those things that I wish I could, I am thankful for the lessons learned and the challenges of recent blogs to think and pray before I start rushing into things.
Thank you Lord for life experiences and that you work ALL things for good ( good AND bad decisions alike). You are truly good all the time.
