Sometimes I can't help but feel like my life now is made up of my yesterdays- opportunities that I allowed through my fingers, lousy decisions I've made, lost causes, mistakes. Like it or not, there were choices made, with consequences I have to live with now. One can try to make up for it but one must know that it's permanence is not effaceable. It's times like these that you start to wonder how much better your future could possibly be.
I find comfort in fairy tales and chick flicks because they make me believe that happy endings are not predisposed by perfect beginnings but disastrous ones. And of course, if God is God, then He shouldn't be limited by my hangups right?

God is not limited by your hangups Esterfoong. Start reading the bible and you'll see that so many of the people that God ended up backing up had LOTS of faux paus and bad luck.
But STILL he ended up being in their corner. I KNOW it's hard to have faith when you are having a string of bad luck.
it's weird cuz I've been going thru the same thing..lots of bad luck.
I was actually praying to God the other day while I was walking my puppy. I don't know if I didn't have a good handle on the leash, or was just so lost in thought, but all of a sudden, the leash got away from my hand and my puppy was running away from me into some wooded yard, and I couldn't even see my puppy, my pet had gotten so far away from me!
I was so upset, as I love my puppy, and though I kept calling my pet, the puppy didn't come back! :(
Then all of a sudden, I saw that the owner of the yard had "caught" my puppy's leash and was holding my pet for me! What a blessing! :)
That was like a miracle, cuz if the owner hadn't been there, I can bet I'd not even have FOUND my dog....
See miracles happen, all the time, but mostly when you least expect them!
That is why it's important to NOT give up faith. That's kind of what the devil wants you to do, imho.
Excuse me, but I do believe there's a God and I also believe there's a devil. When you give up faith, you allow the devil to take over your thoughts and then you cannot pay attention to the stuff God wants you to observe.
And don't feel you are alone Ester.. there's a lot of people in your shoes these days that are really going thru hard times. It's hard to avoid it, given the economy and all the bad winter weather we're getting lately.
You're welcome to come to my blogs if you like. You can see that things are not always peach keen for me either. Take care
I feel that way alot about finding comfort in fairy tales, watching movies jut to take you away from the bad or down times in life, I write and read also, I'm going through a rough patch in my life and its very hard, I been with a company for 8 years and they lied on me to fire me, it hurts so bad that they did that to me but we all have to move on.
I feel the same about god, If i didn't have god in my life I would let so many things get to me or bring me down. I wish you the best and that you are what you are because of how you were brought up, stay strong and you take care.
