Look back but move forward

It has really been a while since I last made a post. At many points in our lives we reach a point where we healthily look back in nostalgia and the places we used to frequent, the things we did as hobbies growing up and we look at where we are now all grown up, mature and seeing our offspring if any of you have some and and see them shape their lives to be following that same pattern without even realising it. Edwin Louis Cole put it "The way we enter determines how we leave". While a part of of me right now just wants to go back in a time warp for old times sake I know that I should never stop looking forward to the future, in fact I should look forward way more then reminiscing about past experiences that have shaped my life to where it is now. Part of life is entering and leaving, the way we leave infancy determines how enter childhood and the way we leave childhood determines how we enter adulthood, everything inbetween is a matter of choice, as a child its what toy toy or sweet to buy, as and adult it goes deeper, what job should I take, what car should I buy, whom should I marry, where should I live, and how best can I invest my money, even more important is What role does Jesus play in my life. Even more biblical is how we should take these questions to God and if he approves then just slowly watch the door open in ways you cant imagine.
