My Mind's a Goin and This is What it's Thinking About

I decided to edit a lot of my posts. I didn't realize how public they were or how easy it was to google them. I'm not ashamed of what I wrote, because for me that is what happened. But I have decided it's about time to move forward. I heard something recently and I really like it. There is a reason the reerview mirror is so small and the windshield is so big. You can see what's behind you in your reerview, but it's small because what's behind you doesn't matter as much as what's in front of you. You can't forget your past, but you can move forward. God has so much planned for every single person and if you live in the past, you may never find out what He has for you in the future. Seems I've been driving looking at my reerview more than through my front window.
A lot can happen since I graduated in '05. I've married, had two children, several jobs, friends who have stayed and gone, and more drama than I would have liked. Time can also change people and their hearts, though. Trust is another something I wanted to talk about. Who deserves trust unless they build it? No one. Do I expect anyone to trust me? Absolutely not. Should I be expected to trust anyone? No, but I do hope that the future holds more trust than there is now. I've learned that forgiveness isn't earned, its right. Forgive and forget is not a good combo. I don't think anyone ever forgets, but they can forgive. What kind of life would I live if I didn't forgive those who have damaged me most? I would be bitter and angry and quite unpleasant to be around I'm assuming.
The thing is, I'm ready to move on and change my life and the lives of those around me. I'm tired of being afraid of nothing. If I place everything in His hands, what do I have to fear? Whom shall I fear?
Jeremiah 29:11-13 is one of my favorite passages when I feel I'm lost and don't know where to go or what to do.
^11" For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ¹² Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ¹³ You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. ¹⁴ I will be found by you,” declares the LORD

No matter where I go or what I do, He has a plan for me. It's already written out. He will never give me more than I can handle, nor leave me to the dogs. He loves me and I Him. He wants to be found by me, all I need do is seek Him.
This video has hit me hard the last few months. I feel it should be for anyone who feels they can't change what is from this point forward.

This song gets me too. Sometimes your life goes by so fast and you pause and look back and wonder where it went. Then you sit and think I haven't done enough! I haven't done enough for the kindgdom of God, or for my family or friends. It all passes so quickly and our days on this earth are numbered. What can I do with the time God has given me today?
