Memories

My memory isn't the best at times......other times it's great. But I had a thought. What if God allows memories in our minds to help us remember good times? What if he allows memories for us to remember the bad times, so we can reflect and know he was there even when we didn't think He was?

I'm learning that sometimes the memories we have are all we can hold onto for the time being. Maybe a struggle is going on and all you can focus on is what used to be.....until things get back to normal. What if things never get back to normal? I'm told things happen in seasons. The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes that everything has a time and a season. This was a song also made popular back in the day too...... my point is we all go through seasons and have to endure things. We have to presevere.


I think of the most happiest times in my life......
meeting my husband,
getting married,
giving birth to 3 healthy babies,
going to Disney world with my whole family

But the most joyous time is when I sat with my mentor in 1999, at my kitchen table and asked my Savior to be Lord of my life .....only after I asked Him to forgive my sins and wayward ways. Repentance is wonderful. Repentance restores....and my God will work out all the details whether we remember it all or not.

I'm not going to go over the "bad" memeories of my life as I don't like to dwell on the negative, but one thing I do know. Our God allowed me to experience these things too...so I would be pointed to His perfectness and love for me for His own glory. Had he not allowed me to go through what I did, I wouldn't be where I am today. All those things were weaved into what I am working toward now as an adult.....a Jesus lover.....haha.

Memeories are good in that they allow is ways of staying connected with out past. We can learn a lot from them and use them to guide our future. That's how I see it. ☺️☺️
