I’m not sure about you, but it is actually much harder for me to narrow down my disappointments than my accomplishments because I am always looking to grow and mature into the person God is wanting me to be.
But nevertheless, I’m learning that failure can become one of God’s greatest gifts.
So in order that we can all grow together, here it is…
“Top 5 at 25 – Disappointments“
5. Poor Time Management. Taking advantage of a productive schedule has always kicked my butt. If something can wait until tomorrow, it usually doesn’t get done until they day after that. 
Thankfully, God has convicted me of this sinful attitude during the last few years and I actually see myself making some much needed progress in this area.
4. Budgeting for the future. Unfortunately, if I have it… I spend it!! Which makes planning for the future incredibly hard to do.
Again, thankfully God has blessed me with Teresa and I’ve allowed her to COMPLETELY take over my spending habits. Now I don’t spend a penny without her first knowing about it!! Praise Jesus for people who will hold you accountable.
Also another reason I went after our Executive Pastor, Caleb Williams, when we started Revive Church. The dude is a pitbull when it comes to money and I LOVE that about him… most of the time. J/K
3. Investing in people. All too often I’ve spent time on myself and not the others around me. I never realized how selfish of a person I really am until I got married (and even until we had Kellon). Now I can’t help but be reminded on a daily basis that I must serve rather than be served.
2. Capitalizing on Opportunities. Sadly I missed out on so many things God has in store for me simply because I was afraid to take a risk. Jesus has convicted me harshly in this area of my life and it is my desire to never again miss what He has in store just because I’d rather play it safe.
1. Telling people about Jesus. WOW… This one grabs me everytime I think about how many people may have confessed Jesus as Lord if only I would have had the backbone (or maybe even the heart) to tell them about what He has done in my life.
On this one I say NEVER AGAIN!!
People will know the name of Jesus and all He has done for me no matter what lengths I must go to in order to do so.
So there you have it. I pray you can learn from my mistakes without having to experience them first hand. Amazingly God offers grace & forgiveness if only we will repent and choose to live for Him rather than ourselves!!
What are the things you need to address in your life today?
