As many of you know my life has undergone some dramatic changes recently. Some good, some heartbreaking and some downright devastating. I find myself, once again, with renewed hope. I have vowed that for the rest of my life… I will live with NO REGRETS.

I have been really exploring HOW one can live a life with no regrets. Is it really possible to do that? If so then what does it take? I have been doing a lot of thinking and reading, talking and praying. Here is what I have come up with:

I think that pretty much sums it up. Through a LOT of prayer and soul searching I have come to find that I really enjoy life. I enjoy every single day one day at a time. I can accomplish so many things by simply breaking them down into smaller lists. If I look ahead I get overwhelmed with the sheer volume of what has to be done. When I look at it in pieces I feel more in control and ABLE to accomplish what it is that I set out to do.

I am a habitual list maker and planner. I am the person who has plan A, B & C and backup D, E & F… I know that must be a personality flaw. I accept that and am managing to learn to work that into my life.

I have been praying for a while that God give me the GRACE I would need to sustain me through these tough times. I have prayed for strength and guidance. I have prayed for divine wisdom and guidance. Through all of this prayer I realize that the one way we live with no regrets is to have heart that is open, intentions that are pure and a will to allow God to work in our lives. For me, that is a huge feat. To live with NO plan when I am a relentless planner. To go with the flow when I am used to CREATING the flow myself.

But here I am. I stand here with nothing in my head today but today. My appointments for today. My goals for today. My hopes for TODAY. That is all I can do… anything else is taking on too much.

I know that I have so many friends and family who pray and who have stood at the gates for my family in recent weeks. I cannot say thank you enough. I continue to plead on my own behalf but it is biblical to have others to stand with you. I would like to ask that each of you continue standing in this gap and praying that God will continue to work in our lives. He is working mightily and I am now praying that he give us all the faith to see this through.
