Yep, that's right, over the last week I said Good-bye to my 20's. It was a very surreal week for me. I was thinking about when I entered my 20's I did not think about how it possibly was the most important decade of my life. I made all my major life decisions within the course of 10 years, to finish or not to finish college, to marry or not to marry, to have children or to not have children
Pretty much the 3 things that shape your life.
So, for the record, I didn't finish college, I did get married and I do have a child.
If I could go back and do it over, well... there is no point in going there now is there... because we can't.
BUT...
As my Pastor preached yesterday there are demons and angels in this world and while we may make poor decisions that more than likely the "darker side" influenced us to make, God works in those situations for His glory.
So is it completely "un-christianic" to ask
GOD...
SHOW ME YOUR GLORY IN THESE DECISIONS!
ON THE OTHER HAND
I HATE "WHAT-IF'ERS"!
What if I had not gone on that date?
what if I had stayed in college?
what if I had turned on this road instead of that one?
What if...
because what is the point of "what if"
can you go back and change anyting? NO
can you change what’s happening now? Probably not...
can you make better decisions in the future? Maybe,
but at the time didn't we think we were making the best decision??
Though we may second-guess our decisions and wished we had prayed a little harder before making a decision; I do feel strongly about what I heard yesterday at church and what makes me stick to my favorite Bible verse. Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in His time... but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end."

ha...see...I AM older than you! 33 here sweetie...and do I feel every second of it! lol
You're so right. About the what-ifers. But it's SO hard not to go there. Ya know.
But agreed. God is sovereign. And He does make all things beautiful...in His time. I was reading Love is a Decision today. By Gary Smalley. I don't know. Bored I guess. Trying to fill up the void with happy stuff...so I don't think too much about the next couple weeks. Ya know.
Anyway...
I loved that he said exactly what I've been learning not just this year...but hte past several. When you live through stuff...real stuff...the hard stuff. It's like crazy glue for your spouse...and children. You can't live through those icky things in life with other people...and not have it make those specific relationships stronger. I like that. I've thought that. But hearing a MD voice it too makes me feel validated! lol
Anyway...I hope that Jesus keeps working His beauty in your life. And that the icky moments bind your heart more deeply with those who are in your life.
