Day 18 - Something you Regret
Since I first read this list, 18 days ago, I've been thinking about this post and one thing kept coming back to me and that is something I learned in college. That was to live your life in such a way that you have no regrets. I know that this was taught more in the concept of what choices a person makes - choose those things which are right and Godly so that you have no regrets when you are done. So, I've tried to live my life in a way to have no regrets - at least the things that matter in life. Than I tried to lighten it up a little and see if there are things I wish I had done/had not done that might qualify and there are a few.
1. I loved where I went to college and that in itself is not a regret but I wish I would have known more about what was needed to get a state teaching certificate - so one regret I have is that I was not able to get state certified, therefore limiting where I could teach. I probably need to look into this again as sometimes state guidelines change and I might be able to get this?? Who knows.
2. I regret that I ever signed up for my first credit card AND that I used it! My husband and I are determined to teach our boys how to manage money from the time they start getting their first allowance. I think it is so much more important now than it was when he and I were young because credit is so available now. We are now working diligently to pay off what debt we have and not add anymore.
3. I regret that I allowed myself to get behind on Scrapbooking - I am working to get current so we can enjoy the albums of our kids while they are still kids!

Ditto on the credit card debt. We are in huge trouble but we serve a BIG God! And I wish I had kept up with my scrapbooking, but then again I hardly use my camera! Have a great day!
