What If..

Life is full of “What ifs”. I’m sure you’ve all experienced it once or twice in your life. What if I had taken that job…What if I didn’t get married…What if I didn’t get pregnant…How different would my life be now?

If you have the “What if” syndrome, my advice to you is, GET OVER IT! You can’t change the past. You didn’t take that job that would’ve launched your career…You did get married…You did get pregnant… So you can’t do anything about it now. You have to learn to deal with your current situation. If you are not happy with your current job, what are you going to do to get out of it? If you are not happy married, what are you going to do to fix it? If you hate having kids, well…too bad you’re stuck with them  (You didn’t think I was giving you an easy way out on that one did you?).

The point is you are in control of your life. Not your church, your parents, your family, but YOU! Wake up in the morning and think, what would make you happy today. Take a day off of work and dedicate it to yourself. Take a day off from your spouse and dedicate it to yourself. Take a day off from the kids and drop them off with a relative.

Believe it or not, life is short. It’s up to us to make the best of it. Because when D day comes, you don’t want any regrets, just memories of you having fun.

So, today’s verse is, go out and do something for YOU!
