single and waiting

Life in the single lane, is something most people experience at some point in their life. This is just my personal experience, that I thought I'd share with you all. Isaiah 40:31 "Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weak"

it's time to move on

Hey all you folks out there.

I just want to let in on a little secret people. No one is perfect!! And I’m no one, just kidding! We all make mistakes in our past…but we have to let these go and move on and more importantly, learn from these.

One of the most discouraging things ever, is when a friend constantly reminds you of a time where you tripped in your walk with God. It’s not always nice to be reminded about our past sin, but you have to ask yourself, why are they forever bringing this up? Is it because they are trying to cover their own flaws and are that insecure that they have to pick out yours? Or could it be because they are trying to help you and it’s done in love? I guess only that person will know themselves. But we so easily misinterpreted things don’t we?

To quote from a chick flick, a safe one at that…when you are so lonely and long for a partner, you are blind to their flaws…but when you look at yourself, flaws is all you see. Sound familiar? You many not be proud of your past…who is? But that doesn’t mean you should hold on to it and let it affect your future. I look at some of the stupid things I’ve done and think…man how could you do that? Like for example, ending a two and a half year relationship via text…I’m not proud of that at all. I’ve learned from it and would do things differently now. If I hade the knowledge I have now, then, things would have been different, but it’s hard to imagine. He showed me a lot too, he actually forgave me! Talk about unconditional Christian love.

I look at my life now, and think…look where I am at, I would not be as educated as I am if I didn’t make the hundreds of mistakes that I have done…and you know what, I’ll continue to make mistakes, after all, I’m only human. And so are you. Don’t let your mistakes put you down or control your life, give them up to God, He’s forgiven you, you have to forgive yourself.

peace
