I've come to learn that there are regrets we can change and there are regrets that we can't change, so instead we must learn from them.<br /><br />From a purely philosophical point of view, I would say that your experience of quitting, moving to Dayton, and all that has helped form who you are today... for better or for worse. And as my Dad always says, "it builds character."<br /><br />So don't beat yourself up too much, I'm sure that what happens in our lives, God has a plan. Even when we steer off-course, He's kind of like a GPS unit, trying to guide us back.. even if we don't listen.<br /><br />You're awesome Seth, I appreciate you bro. Hope you and the fam are having a good week!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473269776641186040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18109837.post-73954655464025088792009-06-08T23:03:53.197-04:002009-06-08T23:03:53.197-04:00I love you, man and I hear you.

I quit because it was "far away". no other reason, and then took the "first position available" instead of one in a quality ministry. A good mentor always reminds me to "feed His Sheep". Peter quit on Our Lord and Savior and Jesus just said "Do you love me? Feed my sheep" Peter trusted that and got up and went on. I am sure he never forgot what it felt like to quit on Jesus but he also never forgot what if felt like that Jesus DIDN'T QUIT ON HIM!!!!<br /><br /><b>--Chris Francis</b>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804052912318456157noreply@blogger.com
