Choices and Mistakes

Billowing winds blow leading me upon different directions other than expected. I question where I go, and what I do. I make memories through the lessons of life, trying to understand that clearly one path directly interlinks me to another. I hesitate without noise if I have chosen the right the direction.

College brought upon it's own struggles. I kept thinking all during those years, if I could just get through that time phase, that things would look up and life would perhaps, rise into a happy, bubbly shaped circle. I may have thought wrong. I can't quite see how one road traveled, links to another, but somehow it is intertwined.

Can people, other than yourself, make mistakes in given situations? Life altering mistakes, if you will. The kind of mistakes, that take an absolute lifetime to put behind you...mistakes that are never forgotten, just simply made by accident. Never intending to create such a fixation or a problematic circumstance.

I utterly believe this can happen. I think that people can make mistakes, knowing that they are creating a life altering mistake in someone else's life. People choose the situations that are presented to them. They make notion to what they desire in their lives. Some even create the mistakes to prove they can succeed at something. The problem is that in that choice...and though the person maybe was happy with that choice that they made, they ultimately altered the implications of anothers life plan.

Tragic, how someone could know so deeply that they were choosing an impeccable choice and at the same time watching an extraordinary choice fall out of place. It's as if the despair had rushed over the situation allowing the latter of choices to be only a vapor of wind.

Time tells the story...the story of choices, the story of mistakes, along with regrets, but most of all shares the story of hope. You see, I have made life altering mistakes...and believe that life altering mistakes have been made toward me. I know that time can heal the soul and I know that time can replace the memories. I also believe that time can change those mistakes....take the regret, and give a person hope.

Our Lord is sovereign, and when a choice may have been a mistake, He is there....still guiding, ever so present, leading us on, seeking our obedience, giving us time, shaping our way, consoling the despair, and waiting for the time to bring us forth as gold.
