Things You Wish You Could Tell Your Younger Self

[DuckieLady]

Have you very entailing experience to share about your experience of being renewed by Christ, and many experiences that could be talked about

I'm not sure... Normally, I would, but something tells me to save it for today.

That's a thing that takes courage to admit.

Anyone who is in Christ is a new creation, and it takes a long time to develop into the new person, I think. It is not always immediate and it wasn't for me. If I wasn't so broken and alone, I think it would have been sooner, but turned around better for having only Jesus to rely on- and he was 100% the only one. It seems to me like God has taken care of you and turned you around to be used for his good!

How has this comment not received a like yet? I would like it a million times if I could. Praise God!!!! (I can rely on other people, but Jesus is my number one.)

Things You Wish You Could Tell Your Younger Self

When you meet a woman named Elaine, RUN!!! Run for your bloody life, you blithering imbecile, and don't stop running until you've nearly killed yourself through exhaustion. Then start running again.

LOL do we want to know who Elaine is?

No.

P.S.

 

[April_Rose]

No.

The only time in my life that I'm ever going to ignore Levar's advice.

 

[April_Rose]

P.S.

I am a retard though. (Seriously, I am.)

I know I've said it before and I'll say it again, to my younger self:

 

[Hidden In Him]

LoL!

I should have thrown that book in the bayou after Page 1... maybe like after reading the first few words.

NOT a masterpiece.

I'll just pretend that I know what you're talking about and smile and nod. *Nods*

Well you sound very intelligent to me April.

 

[April_Rose]

Well you sound very intelligent to me April.

Thanks, but it's my disability and I don't like that word. I was called that all the time in school.

Sorry to use it. I was only applying it to myself... and in that case, justly so.

What makes you say that?

 

[DuckieLady]

I wish I could go back and say I had ADHD.
I wish I could have understood myself better.
I wish someone could have told me that girls with ADHD are more likely to experience teen pregnancy. (Consider 15% vs 2% non ADHD)

I wish I would have waited for marriage most of all. I wish I was more choosey. I wish I didn't reproduce with any Elaines.

 

[Hidden In Him]

Edited.

In my opinion, you are a round peg that they insisted on trying to cram into a square hole. In other words, you are highly intelligent. Our Napoleon-based education system doesn't like different, even if it can greatly benefit them. At least it didn't.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Mine...

1. You cannot put a whole egg in the microwave and expect it to come out boiled egg. It will explode.
2. Boiling the pot on the stove for over an hour to get out the burned stuff on the bottom will not fix it. It will melt the pot into the stove.
3. Cover up. It's off-putting.
4. Never let a 17-year-old perm your hair. It will fall out.
5. Don't let grandma go to the church Christmas dinner wearing festive Santa velvet baby doll "nightwear" over her outfit because you think it's funny. She will get upset after.

I would tell my younger self that there are some very evil people in this world who wouldn't think twice about hurting me or killing me, to not be so trusting, to be more on guard, to take up for myself, to have very strong faith and trust in God no matter what happens.

I'm sorry for laughing. But I'm laughing with you not at you, LoL.
