Day 17: If you could rewrite one scene from your life, what would you change - or would you keep it exactly as it is?
Excerpt from a 2019 post: This moment from We are The Millers will forever be what I think of when I say "No regrets!" lol
..."None? Not even a single letter!?" 🤣
I'm not a big believer in regrets. I remember one of the many Myers-Briggs sites I have visited saying that INFJs are the least likely to wish they could go back and change anything because we are able to see purposeful connections and meaning in all of our experiences, and that rang true. I believe deeply that God has a bigger plan than I could fathom now and He has the power to use my pain for a purpose - for personal growth and for the ultimate good. And that makes it hard to regret anything, and I'm so thankful for that. I have put my heart out there in several friendships that ended poorly, and I have taken steps toward many life changes that did not pan out in the end, but it creates resilience when you can look back and see what you've learned and how you've grown from each of those hard events. The only thing we should ever regret is our sin, and that regret should be temporary because we can seek forgiveness and choose to find healing and change our course."

In other news, tonight was the YouVersion "Beyond a Billion" event celebrating a billion downloads of the Bible App. It was the first app I downloaded on my iPhone in 2009, and I'm grateful for Bobby Gruenwald's creative genius and Craig's generosity and leadership with this project. The first 30 minutes of the event (before they started streaming) were full of painful filler and hype and small talk that nearly led me to miss a really great worship night. It got MUCH better. The night included stellar live and in-person worship with CeCe Winans, Lauren Daigle, Matt Redman, Brooke Ligertwood, Kari Jobe, Chris Tomlin, Phil Wickham, and more... along with brief messages from Craig, Bobby, Christine Caine, Louie Giglio, etc.
The countdown to a billion was marked by loads of confetti at the sold-out Paycom Center! ❤
Happy Monday!
