twists and turns

Life twists and turns in many wild and unpredictable ways .Choices made are factors in how ones life goes .Sometime ago i made a bad decision ,it has gone on to effect several peoples lives to differing degrees.But one thing i do know ,is that no matter how tough it is to deal with .Having gone down this road has has had a greater purpose in my life .I have truly grown in both character and spirit.I am not proud of my actions ,and if i could take it all back i would . As a very powerful song by casting crowns says "its a slow fade when you give yourself away ,families never crumble in a day ".I thank God my family has stayed in tact The experience has made me more mindful of my needs ,more watchful of things in my life and a lot less judgmental. I love to offer words of encouragement to others and take an interest in family and friends lives .But at the end of the day its me and my family that I am called to take care of .But in sharing my joys ,sorrows ,regrets , love ,kindness,and yes even anger with others . I find I get back as much and usually a whole lot more. Whats a life worth living if its not worth sharing with your fellow man.
