I am probably older than the majority of my readers. I have been asked as to whether I live with many regrets. My answer is a resounding “NO.” If my life had been any different prior to my experience with my Angels, I believe, rightly so, God would have had to find another way. Then, it is MY belief, that other way, or those other ways, would have been the way God wanted my life to have been lived. Now, if someone were to ask me whether I live with regrets since that experience, I would have to say that God knew I would live my life EXACTLY within His Divne plan. We don't always know what the will of God is for our lives until AFTER our decisions are made. Circumstances dictate our decision making as much as our own plans dictate what happens in our lives. I believe it was Einstein who said that only a fool does the same thing over and over expecting different results each time. If something does not give us the results we want, we don't keep doing the same thing over and over. We learn correct decision making by learning how to make correct decisions.
As far as God is concerned His calling is NOT the same as His choosing. God NEVER makes the wrong choices and He NEVER changes His mind once He has chosen. However, I believe that when people believe they have been called to do a certain task in life that calling changes with the circumstances of that person's life. This is not true for those who are chosen. I would suggest that every person who is chosen knows his or her specific task and has been properly prepared to perform that task, however, he or she may not know HOW that task is to be performed. One might believe one who is chosen might experience doubts as to whether one is performing that task. I claim to have been chosen for a specific task, however, I am not always sure that I have done it; am doing it now; or whether that task is completed. I say I am doing that task simply by living. I say God does not care HOW I live. He just wants to make sure I live. So, I say I am doing my assigned task simply by breathing. I have said that God does NOT care what I do or don't do. God has known I WILL perform my assigned task even if I don't have a clue as to what I am doing. I have said only losers live with regrets, but in my saying this I know I AM different from most. In the end I know my task, however, if someone were to ask me whether I know what I aam doing, my response is that often I dont have a clue. Peace.
