Day 18: Something You Regret

Ughhhh.  I've never believed anyone that says they have no regrets, only because I don't see how that is possible.  I do appreciate some of the mistakes and bad choices I've made, only because they've made me stronger, think differently, led me to where I am now, or have some other greater purpose.  However, there are MANY choices I've made that I wish I could re-do and save myself the pain.


-I regret the way I spoke to a girl in 6th grade.  She was one of my friends and I was really rude to her, saying I didn't care what she had to say.  I'm sorry, J, that was totally uncalled for.
-I regret not finishing my master's THREE years ago.
-I regret buying the car I have now.  It was a total impulse purchase and probably not worth it.
-I regret some really poor decisions I made in the past.  I've prayed about it and I know I've been forgiven, but I beat myself up sometimes over these decisions.
-I regret not taking a teaching job overseas.  I still could do it, I'm young, no husband or kids, but I'm scared.
-I regret not picking up and moving somewhere crazy for a year, just to say I did.
-I regret not joining a small group sooner.  I have met some amazing girls and have definitely gotten closer to the Lord in the past year.

I suppose there are more decisions I've made that I regret, but I guess at some point you have to stop thinking about them or you will never be able to move on from them.  Or at least I won't.

On another note, I got a Facebook message from a girl that graduated college with me.  One of our BEST, but toughest, professors has an inoperable brain tumor and is dying.  According to her, my old professor only has a week or so to live.  It breaks my heart that anyone would have to go through that pain.  Dr. Prince had such a heart for children and inspiring students of ANY age to read and enjoy learning.  She will be missed greatly when she is gone.

That is all for today.  Have a great night, y'all!
