We all have bumps in the road of life, sometimes alcohol, drugs, overeating, focusing on material things, illness, or just wondering around aimlessly searching for meaning. Once we open our hearts to the Lord-anything is possible! He will guide us through the roughest of times and he's always got our back. Try not to regret things from the past as they cannot be changed, but instead focus on the present-one day at a time-and though you will never forget where you've been, just remember that it lead to the path you're on now. Love your Life, Love yourself, Love others and try not to focus on the door that is closed, but rather the door that has been opened for you in a new world, a new path and the way of the Truth and the Light that will guide you always-no matter what! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and keep on keeping on!

I then said, "Hey. At least I've got it now!" He agreed. None of this, the journey, the blog, the life, would be here were it not for God. Thanks for visiting again.

Your last line is such a key to all of this - take God with you. What a difference He can make in our lives. And I love the analogy of falling down, but when we get back up - look around to see what tripped us up in the first place - so we don't do the same thing again. I wish you well, Scott - on this journey you are on. You will do well, my friend - with God by your side. I find it very refreshing to visit here and hear your words.
