i've learned a lot the past two tuesdays at 722 and i figured if i'm going to finally start updating i should share with you what i've learned. i will speak in first person, because i'm guilty of all of it.
722-RETRO series- Stuart Hall
"attacking what happens when we live life backwards..."
"Facing Backwards"
i am living my life facing backwards.
there are two types of people..
type one: people who regret they're past but learn from it. they place stones of rememberance
at the grave of whatever happened and they walk away from it. (smart people)
type two: people who regret they're pasts. They still learn from their mistakes however they
place trophies at the grave and continually revisit those graves if not in action in thought. (me)
and then theres...
Gods way:
forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead
-phillipians 3:13
i have been forgiven. it is my responsiblity to just forget.
to pick up the trophies i've laid at those graves and put them where they belong.
in the future. He holds my trophies, my treasures.
He holds them in his hands. He's up ahead smiling saying "be patient my child. what i i have in
store for you is far greater than what you could ever plan for yourself"
i mean. he created me, he knows me better than i know myself. why is it so hard to let go of the past
and put my future in my creators hands? you see, i dont even have the power to give him my future. ITS
ALREADY HIS! i just have to let go.
but i digress.
there are two types of sorrow.
type one: worldly sorrow.
when i've done something wrong and i regret it,
because it backfired on me
type two: Godly sorrow.
when i've done something wrong, and i regret it..
because it backfired on HIM
whoa. thats stepping on my toes there.
who then am i living for?
myself?
just a thought.
shouldnt i have more hope in the future, than the past?
i mean..
yesterday is the kid in the corner.
yesterday is dead and over.
God steal this gaze of mine
"i'm running, i'm running. to leave the past behind. no shame to feel, no chains to hold me down.
i'm running, i'm running, i'm never looking back. with you i'm strong and i can dream again."
