I can honestly say that it nearly pulled me into the darkness of depression, but my faith in God and His promises pulled me out of the pit of "what might have been" to the glorious "here and now". The key I think is thankfulness. I count my blessings now whenever I get a little down. Perks me right back up. I have so much to be thankful for that I never look back only forward. Thank you for your post. Another moment spent thanking the Lord instead of wondering 'what if?'<BR/><BR/>Peace and love,Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05937714646075395675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-36744325580557214162008-08-29T13:52:00.000-05:002008-08-29T13:52:00.000-05:00Awesome thoughts Nat.

Now, I wouldn't dare wish to go back. Each day brings wonderful new blessings from the Lord. My marriage continues to grow sweeter year after year and I grow just a bit more in the Lord's wisdom. I don't EVER want to go backwards, only forwards. I can't wait for ten years from now to see what the Lord will take me through. It is an incredible adventure being a Christ-follower! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04783304767699830781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-22244999588124107662008-08-29T12:59:00.000-05:002008-08-29T12:59:00.000-05:00Great stuff!

We probably all have been guilty of this from time to time. <BR/><BR/>Right now, the only time that I want to go back to are those times when life was a little more simplified...less financial issues, less demanding work schedules, less busy children's activities scheudles and more quality family time. My husband and I are currently working hard to simplify life...making it more enjoyable...until then...we will live each day to the fullest and enjoy the time we have together.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for a wonderful post.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12379308095114107570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-65542051722714144282008-08-29T12:34:00.000-05:002008-08-29T12:34:00.000-05:00I go through periods of restlessness far too often...I go through periods of restlessness far too often.

When we left I was ready to leave because of some yucky stuff, but now I would do anything to back to all things comfortable and familiar. I've known what I need to do, but your words and the verses used from the Bible made me more aware.

It could have been me writting about if I could go back and staying home with kids. Though my kids are now grown I try to focus on what the good is, and they are followers of Christ. If I could go back, yes that has been a thought in my head lately, but you laid it on th line.
