I have a hard time blogging these days. I have made several attempts over the last few months to bet back into the groove, but have yet to muster up the courage to push "publish."
I made a lot of bold statements in the blogs of last year; I had big plans and goals, and I think I'm embarrassed that so few of them have come to fruition. I planned to move out - still live at home. I planned to run a half marathon - haven't run since. It is awkward and I just haven't quite figured out where I want my blog to go from there.
I still have been making plans and goals, but I feel apprehensive about letting the world know that, just in case I fail to accomplish them... again. However, through this time, I have learned some valuable truths that will now serve as filling for what I hope to become my "segue blog" (no promises).
1. It doesn't do any good to continuously replay my regrets in my mind. Big or small, what's done is done and I can't change that fact.
2. In fact, living with regrets at the forefront of my mind will lead to the repetition of regretful actions.
3. I almost always regret the time spent regretting my regret more than I regret the actual regret.
4. It is impossible to move forward while living in the past.
5. None of this means that I shouldn't recognize the wrong in what I've done (or what I've failed to do)... This is the only way to learn from my mistakes.
6. God has me where I am right now for a reason.
7. That doesn't mean I shouldn't be working toward where He may have me in the future.
8. It's okay to make plans.
9. It is also okay if not everything goes as planned.
10. I don't have all the answers.
11. That's no excuse to not live according to what I know is truth.
12. Loving God is an action, not an emotion.
13. It is always the right time to be adventurous.
To be (hopefully) continued...
