Let's get real for a second.
I wish I could go back.
I wish I could go do the past year and a half over again.
It's not that I didn't learn or grow from it, because I truly truly have.
If I could go back, I could do so many things differently.
I would listen harder. I would hug tighter. I would be a little more crazy. I would talk to Jesus way more and dig even deeper in His words. I would love more, and cherish my loved ones more than ever. Instead of staying inside, I'd go dance in the rain. I'd sing a little louder and definitely SMILE much much brighter.
I expressed this to a friend yesterday and she asked me 9 simple words.
"So what are you going to do about it?"
The truth is I cannot go back. It's impossible for us to relive our life experiences and walk them out differently.
The good news is, we get to heed our past experience and use it to grow us. That experience can change our outlook on life and help us to do it a little better next time... And the next... And the next.
The truth is I wish I could change a lot of things.
But I can't, and that's ok.
So what are YOU gonna do about your regrets? The things that you wish you could have done better?
We can sulk. We can have a little party of pity... Or we can choose to move forward and learn from our past! We can choose Jesus in the morning when we wake, all through our days and before we go to rest.
I don't know about you, but I want to choose the latter. In fact, that's what I'm gonna do. 🙌🏼
