History Reapeats Itself--

  It has been said many times over and over again that "history repeats itself." It gets old reminding myself that it is okay to make mistakes  It really is okay to make mistakes but it is very important that we learn from our mistakes.  It is true that history does repeat itself but we do not have to purposely keep repeating those same mistakes.  Let us break down the thoughts into little pieces for a minute and you will see what I mean.  When we make mistakes other people see the way we handle them.  We do not need to get upset or mad when we make mistakes because everyone has done something wrong in their lives.
     God understands that we are human as well as He understood Adam and Eve were human. God knew that Adam and Even had fallen short but He wanted them to be the ones to confess.  That is what He wants us to do, be able to confess our faults and take responsibility for our own actions.  No one is exempt from temptation and no one is strong enough to fight the Devil by ourselves. We must learn to take baby steps when achieving our goals.  It is even more frustrating to reach those goals when you have a syndrome, but with God, nothing is impossible.
     I research every day about 22q and learn something new every time.  I am so thankful that my symptoms were very mild and now consider the syndrome as a gift.  When you learn later in life that you have a syndrome whether it be 22q or some other illness it can be difficult to comprehend why God would give something like this to one of His children.  However, I have to be careful that I do not blame God because He wants me to live and be successful.  I have to make small goals and try to accomplish each one I come to because I can do anything that anyone else can just with a different strategy.  I have to keep reminding myself of that so the Devil will not keep me in the past.  I do not wish to stay depressed all my life because I have to take things a little slower.  Everyone has their own way of doing things and I surely have mind.
    Each day I look around me there is someone that has a new problem added to their pile.  It saddens me that people are not able to look on the brighter side of life.  Everyone has their own hurdles to jump and some maybe a little higher than others but let us rejoice in time of trouble.   It is a struggle to not let the past haunt us but we must keep our thoughts together and organized if we do not want to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
    Even if it is just one person, I pray that my life will be a blessing to someone, somewhere. I hope and pray God will give me the knowledge to learn from my mistakes.  I pray that I will be able to use them as stepping stones and not always keep a chain behind me. I know that these posts are not embellished with all the beautiful designs yest, but I hope that I can use my journal to uplift and encourage someone else to pick up the broken pieces and keep going.

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

Thoughtful Thursday

If God Be For Us 31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34 who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?[e] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from...
