NO REARVIEW MIRROR: Moving Forward with the Lord

Updated: Jan 22

It's 2025!!! Last year is so far gone I cannot reach back and grasp it any more than I can drive my car to the moon. Nevertheless, many of us find ourselves at times looking back, asking, "What if" or "I wonder if I should have." As the saying goes, if wishes were horses, then we all would be riding, wouldn't we? In other words, there is no need to dwell on the past. Learn from your past mistakes, yes, but move forward by praying and asking God to align your will with His.


If mistakes were made in my life (and yes, there have been many), it is because I did not ask GOD or seek to align myself with His will but wanted to "do my own thing." One might say the past can be helpful. Yes, it can, as long as we don't dig in and become a resident. Learn from your past mistakes. Find solutions and other alternatives to resolve issues and concerns. I think our most significant mistakes in life are not trusting GOD fully, leaning on ourselves, and lacking communication.

Rather than having a genuine, authentic dialogue with GOD about your path and dialogue with those who feel disconnected, we find ourselves looking in the rearview mirror asking the "what if" question instead of I did it!! I am confident and in God's will.


This year is about me!! Who am I? Child of God? Wife? Mother? Sister? Pastor? Friend? Colleague? Or am I more and have not truly walked into who GOD has called me to be? I will begin by following Jeremiah 29:11 and be still and wait and see. There's no need to look back when there's the promise of so much more in the future.


Guided by Divine Light, a contemplative gaze captured in the rearview mirror reflects clarity and calmness on a sunlit drive, reminding us of the journey we have traveled. As we navigate the roads of life, we can trust that God is guiding our path forward, illuminating the way with His divine wisdom.
