It's good to look back over one's life and say, "Whew..that one was close. But thank God, I got over."

Well said, Nikki. I too wish I had made some different choices in life, but I wonder if I would be right here, right now, if I had not made those choices?? Only God knows, but I certainly don't want to be like Jonah and have to go through the belly of a whale to get right where God wanted me to be in the first place!!
Some of my regrets..
That I did not take more chances in life for fear of failure, but I thank GOD for protecting me from dangers seen and unseen.
That I did not study harder/concentrate on my GPA in undergrad, but I thank GOD for giving me the opportunity to get an education through parents who sacrificed for me!
That I have not managed my money as well as I could, so my debt to income ratio ends up being too high, but I thank GOD for showing me that when times are tough He is Johovah-Jireh (a provider!)
Not getting serious about GOd earlier, but I thank Him for accepting me now, just the way I am!!
