All Over Again…

All Over Again…10-14-25

Honesty is something that is a must for me, those in my life, and my relationships. I firmly believe admitting to mistakes promotes growth and builds trust. To that end, I am the first to admit when I do something wrong. In fact, I am so convicted that I have to go back and correct myself. Proverbs 12:24, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.”

I have commented before that I have regrets about many things. I do wish there were things I could change about how I raised my boys. But to be honest, I would do most of it all over again. I raised them going to church. They went to VBS, church camp, in Christmas and Easter programs . They went to Sunday School. We prayed together, and did our best to be examples for them. Titus 2:7, “In everything set them an example by doing what is good.”

Both my boys were saved and baptized. My grandson was saved at VBS. His dad wanted him to wait to be baptized until he turned 8. The week of his birthday, he was ready to be baptized, never wavering in his belief he was saved and ready to commit to this next step. Mark 16:16, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”

If I truly trust God, I have to believe His word. I do believe His word. He says that all things work for my good. That means that all the things that happened in my life worked to the outcome He destined. I have my husband, I have my sons, and grandson. I have a church home that I love. I have Christian friends that support and help me grow. Yes, I would do it all over again.
