I've been thinking lately i should change the format of my blog. Alot has changed in my life over the past 2 years, and as much as i have learned (and am still learning) from the past, what i do today is multiple times more important than lessons of the past.
Travelling back to Canada two weeks ago, my aim was to take concrete steps in settling back on on this side of the pond. Finding a meaningful income and a place to live were close to the top of my priority list. Of course family is also very important, and with my mom experiencing health problems, getting her re-settled after spending almost a full month in the hospital has consumed the biggest chunk of my (and my sister's) time. Unfortunatly through all this there has been much more retrospect than looking forward.
I guess life can be compared to driving a car. If we spend too much time looking in the rear-view mirror, we may not see what's ahead, or worse yet get in an accident. Over 90% of our time we should be looking forward. Retrospect is so important, but in moderation. Too much retrospect will bog us down.
The Bible's always has wisdom for every topic of life, and this is no exception. In Luke 9:62 Jesus said 'when you put your hand to the plow, don't look back'. We all have a direction we need to go. So while we move forward, let's focus on what's ahead and only occasionally glance back to see where we came from A never forget those important times we need to stop for refueling directions and reflection.
