Many of us here are divorced...

OK...some of us have children from those marriages that we wouldn't trade for the whole world.

Set all of those things aside for the moment...

IF you could go back and have a "do over"...

What moment in your life would you do over?

You only get a small period of time to do it in...you can't do the whole thing.

But

What one thing do you think would drastically change where you are now that you might have done differently if you had known better? (other than the things that were mentioned above)

triple checked the caribiner that failed...maybe it wouldn't have...

Dragging my wife by the hair to church.

Would have went to college.....but having said that, IF I had, I might not have met my husband etc etc. So........but yeah I wish I would have gotten a college degree. Too late now, not cuz I'm too old, but I have no money, and it wouldn't serve me a purpose now cuz I hope I don't have to look for a job and can just retire from where I work now, and I have lost the drive for it. Sending my kids instead.

I would have looked out for the little signs from God - rather than expecting the huge hitting me over the head type. Hmmmm think I would have tried to make better decisions based upon those, rather than crashing on regardless thinking God would stop me in my tracks if it wasn't right!
Hindsight hey!

Oh, boy--- where to begin?

I suppose there's lots of times when I could think that making the opposite decision than the one actually made would have completely changed things--- whether for good or for evil. Moving to Cicero during the late 70s would be one thing. I lived there for a year, if I hadn't done that a lot of decisions made then would have been made differently. Making a right turn when I should have gone straight--- how that choice made a difference one evening.

Thinking about it, there's any number of times you said "Yes" to a decision and got what you have today, but if you had said "No" it would have completely changed your life from what it now is. We, as Christians, are at least supposed to be experiencing such an event now. If you had said "No" to the promptings of the Spirit, your eternal destiny would be completely different than the one you get by saying "Yes" when He calls you. Something to think about, anyway.

I agree with MemoriesbyMichelle. I'd go to college. I guess before that, I'd work harder in high school so I could get into college. And before that, I'd choose a different family to be born in.

But then again, you never know what changes will be caused by changing anything in your past. I would never want to got through life again. It sucks and I'm really looking forward to going home and being with God in heaven.

I wouldn't have tried to force things as I did.. Sigh..

I tried to get my husband to church.. stupid.. asked him many times.. stupid.. I knew where he stood I should have just stopped and smiled and gone instead of cry and miss him the whole time being there..

I tried to change him.. stupid..I should have just let him be himself.. and perhaps some of the fights we had would not have resulted..

When he didn't want to talk.. I should have just said ok.. and left instead of try and stuff it all up..

I should have stood my ground on some things and refused to be spoken too like an idiot..

So many things..
