Hindsight

I've been told hindsight is twenty-twenty...and if you write a blog sometimes it is. I haven't written on here for over two years...yeah, you probably already noticed that. To get to the point, life is really confusing and a little overwhelming right now, so I was doing what I normally do when I feel like this...I was lying awake in bed, tossing and turning and wondering, "what am I doing wrong? what do I need to learn? how can I fill my life with God instead of this mess?" And then I got on my laptop and stumbled (as in I looked at about ten other "devotional/Christian-y sites first") back across this blog of mine, and guess what, I still need to keep relearning and applying those lessons I recorded myself learning years ago, I still have that same natural man learning to let Christ live through me instead.

Life is a struggle and an ongoing morphing of you from who you were to who you can be. Don't forget to look in your rearview mirror and make sure you are still driving away from your past. It doesn't matter if you're on a little lawn tractor or hurling down the road at 250 in a Lamborghini...if you forgot where you're going you're gonna get just as lost. So think back to the lessons you learned, if you happened to write them down somewhere look back over them. Somebody said, I think it was Einstein  "Stupidity is making the same mistake over and over again." Yeah, so don't do that...trust me it's not fun learning stuff twice.
