The Past

Have you ever looked back on your life or events that unfolded and wish you could change them? Do you ever wish things would be different? I know I have and I’ve been thinking a lot about the past lately. But what happens when I start thinking about the past is I begin to also think about the future.

In bible class we have been talking about exodus, Leviticus, and numbers, and Deuteronomy, and Joshua, and Ruth. And not only that but just things that have been happening to me and around me have been cause me to reflect and question my actions and where I am going.

And I think it’s safe to say that to change a state of mind one has to also re-examine the past and the actions he or she did in order to fully change.

So what does that mean? Do we just sit back and think? Do we ask questions? Talk to others? I don’t know it’s what I’ve been dealing with. How can we know the answers? How can we decipher what we should do or where we should go? I think it’s so more complicated than many today try to say it is. We get stuck in groves and we fill our lives with distractions to hide the truth or distract us from really digging down to think.

I know I haven’t taken some things as seriously as I should have in my past, but I’ve learned. I’ve learned to take everything seriously! But I still come to cross roads. Did I make the right decision? How do I know I did? Many of these I still have no idea or what it will lead to. All I can do is try to lead my life in Christ’s example, unlike the Israelites who failed over and over again in my readings.

But I’ve been ready a lot of art history lately. And someone said it recently something I have heard over and over, but It just struck home form these past few weeks.

We are all unfinished!

We don’t know the outcome or where the chips will fly. We can only attempt to make copies of Jesus to the best of our abilities.

So Reflect check your past

Remember the Israelites we all make mistakes, just keep from it.
