I am a day behind because yesterday the internet was down all day. So the next writing challenge is if you could re-live one year of your life, without changing anything, which year would you choose? Some years were awful, some so-so and some great. I say none of them, because how could I go back knowing what I know and not want to change something. Which would then affect where I am today so no I choose none of them. I am content where I am at and can look back and know that each year since my birth has been a path to here which is a path to the future, whatever that may be.
My life is a process moving towards perfection in Jesus Christ which will not be fully achieved till I die and am in heaven. Each moment of my life shapes and molds me, prepares for what is ahead. Yes there are times I slip or choose a wrong way but God is always there with me even in those times I mess up. He is my Abba Father who loves me unconditionally and not only that He likes me, faults and all. He wants to use me as I am, not who others think I should be or sometimes even who I think I should be. So all those years that have passed have been towards God and to go back is to look back and remember what happened to Lot's wife when she looked back as Sodom and Gomorrah were being destroyed. Pillar of salt!
So I will look ahead, strive to remember the lessons I learned from the mistakes I made in the past but I would not want to go back to re-live a year in my life. I want to remember that the bottom line is to glorify God. I constantly lose sight of that but God always brings me back to that truth.
