Two questions

Two questions I'm trying to ask myself whenever I have to deal with the uncomfortable bits and pieces of the past which I wish did not exist - instead of "What did I lose?" - are: what did I learn from it? ~ and how God was faithful through it all?

We cannot help our pasts. We cannot turn back time. We cannot rewind our lives and relive them. Regret dwelled on, is a terribly difficult exercise that zaps the strength and eliminates zeal to live today with its own load of challenges. We can't change our yesterdays - but we can choose to make a difference in our todays when tomorrow is only a day away and today never repeats itself.

I'm trying to make a difference in mine. Although I'm no where near being perfect. Although I've failed many times.

I'm trying to love more, laugh more, enjoy the small and tiny details of my life more, cut out the I-wish-I-hadn't's and if-only's, reflect on the joys of life more instead of dwelling on my failures, connect with my Maker more, take more interest in His work, react to frustrating situations differently (less angrily, haha), nag less, give more, be quiet when I feel like rattling every bit of opinion from the top of my head, etc.

It's been a good try so far. *Pats self on back, regardless* Praise the Lord.

I'd still love to live a fuller life.
