If Only I Knew Then.
If only I knew then what I know now.
That good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people
That loud doesn't mean strong and quiet doesn't mean weak.
That 'I love you' doesn't translate to 'I will stay'.
That 'I miss you' doesn't translate to 'I want you back'.
That it only has to make sense to me, not everyone.
That vulnerability is not weakness, it's my most accurate measure of courage.
That I would choose peace over riches
That money isn't one of my top 3 priorities.
(Long life, good health and peace)
That a good book and a comfortable couch will make my day.
That I need not make those difficult decisions on my own.
That I need not fight all those battles on my own.
That all I needed to do was take the back seat and let Jesus take the wheel.
That God got me, always.
That I didn't have to earn His love.
That my only purpose in life is to do the will of God.
That I am beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of my creator.
If only I knew then!
But now, I know!
