so i realize i am very very fortunate to have picked up a new job so quick!! even though it is at a drycleaners, "beggers can't be choosers"..so they say. but what about God? can't He choose for us? can't He leave us desperate, in need of money for food, tuition, and such? maybe He wants us to choose, but to choose wisely. and for it to be on His trust and wisdom. hmm..ya know, i would have never thought of this little bit if i hadn't included the whole "beggers" thing, haha.
but speaking of the job, it is so laid back, that i find my mind always wandering, searching, and bringing my spirit at peace. so today, i was thinking about the past. i find it that a lot of times we all bring the past into our present, which would in turn hurt our future. we bring it back more so in a negative way...like "why did i do that? i regret" "my past makes me into a worse person and now i can't take it back" "fill in the blank" you know the gist. but what about if we think of the past as a stepping stone? take power and NOT let the past dominate what is now. wouldn't that just be great? and guess what? we can all do that...right now. at this very moment.
so it struck me today at work...that i should let go of the past. what's done is done. i shouldn't carry the luggage packed from one trip to another. the clothes should be clean, renewed. the only time we should keep mind of the past, is when it is there to help us grow. so stop dwindling about the past and allow it to stop you from pursuing the next step forward.
the most amazing and beautiful thing about my present and future is...that God has accepted me as His own.
how could i possibly look to the past for that kind of satisfaction?
