I have been asked if I regret anything in life. I often answered that I did not regret anything. "I went through those things for a reason". I do believe the lateral part of that. I do regret a lot of things in life though. So what is the point. I think that regret is ok if you mourn the loss and move forward. A lot like repentance. The change of heart is what matters. Been investing some time into that part of life and it is hard but I feel that God is helping me through it. When it comes down to it the only thing I think that I have control of is my expectations. My expectations can change the experiences that I have in life. My expectations that I have for some of the closest people in my life are the hardest to change but if and when I can change the expectation then that relationship will be better.
Enough babbling. Thanks for reading. Be honest and tell me what you think about all this.

And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Cor 12:9
I always think, what is the point? I joke about Ecclesiastes being my book of the bible because Solomon basically points out that for everything there is a time but also that everything we do in life is work in vain. So really, what does it all matter anyway? At the end of my life, will any of my time have mattered beyond the short period of my own breathing existence? I don't know if I have the right answer but I've at least reached my own conclusion...
I believe that our purpose in life is to understand God in order to love and worship him more. As humans, we don't know we need a savior until we understand that we've fallen. It's only as we live life with the best of intentions and then, through failure, realize the gravity of our fall that we worship Him fully. It is through our own weakness that he is glorified. So, what is the point? The point is that our perception and expectations in life DO affect how satisfied or disappointed we are in everything in life, especially the ones around us that we love. But, when we understand deeply how amazing is God's grace and how undeserved it really is...that changes our expectations of ourselves and those around us.
