Life is a very precious thing. You only get it once. It will never come back around to you. Once a moment is over in your life, you will never be able to get it back. You have to keep moving on and look forward to the next one.
No matter what life gives you, good or bad, take it and roll with it. Make it the best that it can possibly be. If you get something good, enjoy it while it lasts. If something bad or not so good comes your way, go with it and get through it as you look forward for the next good moment headed your way.
Do not live in the past. You will never get anywhere that way. Definitely learn and gain wisdom from the things that happened to you. You have to realize that they will never change. They will always be there. Grow from these experiences. They were given to you for a reason. Figure that out and use it in future decisions if it applies.
With that said, make wise choices for your future. You may not be sure as to how you want your future to go, but trust and pray to God that you are making the right decisions. If you turn to Him, you will not go down the wrong path. He may let some things come into your life that are not very enjoyable, but He will never give you anything that you would not be able to handle or overcome. He also wants to see you turn to Him whether in your times of trouble, sadness, joy, or happiness. He wants to be a part of your life. He wants to be your best friend and to be the love of your life. God wants to be your reason for living. Live your life for Christ and learn to lean on Him.

10 Giving It All
Have you ever felt like you are sick and tired of dealing with something? i sure have felt like that many times. It is not a good feeling at all. I really began to feel that way this week. It just seemed like everything hit me all at one time.
My whole out look changed in the course of one week. At the beginning of the week, everything in my life was fine and dandy. I had everything under control. By Tuesday and Wednesday, I felt as if everything was starting to go in a downward flaming spiral. The major thing that started this spiral was being questioned on what I knew for a fact of my future. This also made me question if it was truly fact or not. It made me want to fix it and make sure that it was fact, but in reality, there was nothing that I could do about it. Wednesday night I went to church. During the worship portion of the service, I realized that I needed to hand all of my issues over to God. Since that moment, I have felt a peace for the rest of the week. Nothing has really changed except that I handed all of my problems over to God. The situation is still the same and uncertain and most likely will be for a long time, but that is okay because I do know that God will handle it all in His own way. That will be the best way and the best thing for me.
This is at least the third time that I have went back and picked up this same issue and tried to fix it myself. No matter what I did to try to fix it, all I could do was make it all the worse. Now that I have given it over to God, the only thing i can do and am happy to do, is pray about the situation. I know that what I am about to challenge you to do is easier said than done, but I still am going to give it to you anyway. I want to challenge you to give up all of your issues. Turn them over to God and leave them with Him. Do not go back and pick them back up and try and fix them again. Leave it to Him, He knows what He is doing and He knows the future. God knows how everything will turn out in the end.

9 Actions Do Have Consequences
For every choice that you make there will be a reaction that comes along with that. This happens a lot of the time without you even realizing that it is happening. the reactions or better known as consequences, can be small and seem not to affect or life or they could be huge and completely change the course of your life. It is up to you as to what kind of consequences that you want to come into your life.
One of my really good friends is getting married this weekend. Just a few weeks ago she found out that she was pregnant. This is not the way that she wanted her life to go. She made the choice though so now she has to live with the outcome of that choice. This has completely changed her life around. It may have not been the path that God had intended for her, but He can turn anything around and make it useful for the glory of His kingdom.
Remember this, no matter how bad that you mess up, God will always be there to catch you, and He will always forgive you. So pay attention to the choices that you make, and try to stay on the path that God has intended for your life. If your not sure what that path is, then pray to Him and talk to Him about that. Once you have found out what it is though, pursue that with all of your life and heart and do your best to never defer from it. The path that He has planned out just for you, will always be the best way for you to choose to go.
