For example I was at Matt's brother Ben's wedding this past summer. We had to pay too much for the hotel room we stayed and we worried about that. Then the kids wanted to swim in the pool which I really did too, but I was too worried about getting me hair all wet and messed up an hour or so before rehearsal dinner. It was so stupid of me b/c the timing to let loose and swim off my worries and my stupid adult life by having fun with my kids was there and then gone. I didn't enjoy it nearly the way I should have and i have regretted it and hated myself for it ever since. uhggggg I hate regret even more. Help us Jesus to enjoy our little moments of life.Hermihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02202916501317862012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965203331948355016.post-85758248854642487812007-08-27T16:25:00.000-07:002007-08-27T16:25:00.000-07:00ben, i think you are hitting upon something founda...ben, i think you are hitting upon something foundational. God didn't identify himself as the "I was" or the "I will be," but the "I AM" - present tense. regret over the past or anxiety concerning the future pulls us out of the NOW where God dwells and offers his love and life. even Christianity can focus us on what God 'did' or what God one day 'will do,' rather than what God seeks to give right now. thanks for the reminder!Divorced Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16031316207187048388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5965203331948355016.post-14571257770601013852007-08-22T08:31:00.000-07:002007-08-22T08:31:00.000-07:00I struggle with the same thing a lot - too much wo...I struggle with the same thing a lot - too much worry which causes me to miss out on the present.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing this.stiverdomeeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548878724291656156noreply@blogger.com
