mistakes of the past
I am one of those people that God sometimes just has to make me crash and burn in order to get what he is telling me. I learn from my mistakes. Usually, if I don't mess up, I don't learn anything. The hard part of the whole process is getting back on your feet and getting back, or ahead, to the place you once were.
Last year in 8th grade I really made some mistakes that changed the view and perspective of who people thought I was. I thought I was doing everything right, and then I fell into some temptations that really messed me up. Now that I look back, I see that when I though I was doing everything right, I was really messing up bad. It was just those little things that were getting me. I didn't see the little things, well, because they were little I guess. I also wasn't moving forward in my relationship with the Lord. And when your not moving forward, your falling back.
The mistakes I made gave me a new understanding to a lot of things. First, it showed me where my weakness are and what I need to look out for. It also gave me an caution so that I can now be sure to keep myself out of situations and friendships that will lead to another crash and burn. It has also made me aware of things that I had seen before. After I started messing up I saw the people who I had a big influence on start to make the same mistakes I mad just after I had done them. That showed me that I really do have an impact on people's lives, and my actions really change things.
Right now, I feel like I am closer to God than ever! I am still tempted and I still make mistakes, but I just feel like I have got to know my Daddy up in Heaven a lot better and my relationship with Him has grown so much over these last couple of months. It encouraging to know that no matter how much I mess up, he still loves me. And he washes all that junk out of my life, even if others don't. Thank you JESUS!
