Regret.

Regret. We often hear people talk about there regrets. Or at least for the people around me going into 2010 the slogan was "No Regrets." Implying that this year we won't make or have any regrets. I use the word meaning wishing that whatever that regret is, well that I didn't do it. In thinking about the word I decided to look it up.

Regret:(From Dictionary.com)

5.

regrets, a polite, usually formal refusal of an invitation: Isent her my regrets.

6.

a note expressing regret at one's inability to accept aninvitation: I have had four acceptances and one regret.

From this the overall definition is to feel bad about something or someone. I thought about my life and my regrets. As I was thinking I realized that I don't have any regrets. I say this not because I'm perfect or because I have never had anything bad happen. Believe me when I say I have had my fair share of pains and I'm sure God has much more for me as well. I say this because I don't regret anything because if those "bad" things hadn't happened in my life I wouldn't have learned from them.

I also think and know that God planned everything and knows what is going to happen. I sometimes think if I say I regret something that that is saying that God did something wrong, which is incorrect because he is perfect. I think I'm going to see the 2010 slogan "No Regrets" and use it as a reminder that I should have no regrets because God had a plan for all the events in my life. He is going to use my story to further his Kingdom. Now how sick is that?

Remember Peeps.

No Regrets. Forever. God is Perfect.
