Someone yesterday asked me if I regretted anything in my past. I started to say that I regretted meeting my son's father but then I changed my mind because if I hadn’t have met him, I wouldn’t have my son. I also wanted to say I regretted getting married to my ex but I changed my mind on that one, too, because I learned a huge lesson about life, love & trust.
There are many times in our past that we could say 'I regret this' but did you learn a good life lesson with your experience? Did you grow as a person? Are you stronger now? I refuse to live with any regrets. Every little thing that I have gone through has made me a stronger woman. If the exes hadn't have broken my heart, I wouldn't have leaned on God for strength. I wouldn't have learned that I am worthy of a love that is unconditional. They taught me how men shouldn't treat women. Sure, they had their good qualities but they weren't there to build me up, encourage me & lead our home. I don't want to say anything bad about them. I want to thank them for what they did because those experiences opened my eyes to a whole new world. A world that is full of possibilities. Yes, I struggle but that is when I call out to Jesus & He lifts me up. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength (Phil. 4:13).
I’m happy to be 30 because I could put my 20’s behind me & not look back. They were just as difficult if not more difficult than my teenage years.
