If I make it to ninety-five years of age will I have many regrets over my life? I don't believe so. I'm currently forty one, have five beautiful children and I am working toward my first degree in college. Some of the dreams I had when I was younger are still attainable and the goals I have for the future are reachable. I don't look at life in a way where I see things passing me by. If I set a goal and don't achieve it I don't sulk about it I just set another one or continue to pursue it. For example, it's been a dream of mine to open up a sports bar type establishment aimed at teenagers, kind of like "Arnolds" on the t.v. show Happy Days. I believe I will see this open up before I die. If not, it was meant to happen.
I'm able to put things in this particular perspective because I operate in God's time, not mine. When I look at it like that, I don't worry about meeting a deadline. All events occur when they're supposed to which frees me up from worries or regrets. When I use to operate in "my time" things were hectic. I often worked overtime spending very little time with my family. Then I started partying very hard and ignoring life. Both of those examples are extremes but the results were the same when I operated in "my time", chaos and sadness. When I surrendered my life to The Lord everything in my life became easier because I am at peace with the flow of time and events.
Now, before I start any project, I ask The Father for permission and insight and His Blessings. Knowing that God is with me as I go through life makes facing challenges easier and therefore I have no regrets because I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing!
