Getting a Do-Over

In the classic children’s story Anne of Green Gables, the heroine poetically claims that “tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it.”  It is a lovely idea but what happens when you know that today’s mistakes are going to still be waiting for you in the morning?

Each day does offer a clean start, but our problems don’t disappear like nightmares in the morning.  Growing up my Mom always reminded us that very few decisions are fatal.  Many have consequences, some hurt, but very few things are unfixable.

Have you ever wished you could start over? In “Beginning Again” Sara Preston shares the story of how she changed her life. Surprisingly, the day she put her kids in the car and drove away from her husband was not the day that changed everything.  That day came much later.  Sara thought her story was over, but it was just beginning.  Read Sara’s story.

What does your story look like? Do you ever wish you could wipe the page clean and start over?  If you feel trapped, try our Life Lesson “Finding Freedom”.  You’ll be matched with a coach who will work through your answers with you as you learn.

  The Life that I have is always with the Lord God, for it was start when my mom teach me all about Jesus way of life. I love all about Jesus, and I admire His life on how to be patient in this life and steps. I admire the teaching of my mom and the way we grow up, she was strict mom and every incorrect answer I remember my assignment it make it doubled and I will not sleep and find this verse to verse and always pray to God to help me to find it and God so good He let me to understand the word, every time I look the verse He explained into my minds what is this for. and it was start when I was 7. I love my mom, all her teaching is always here in my heart even today it is. never forget because this is only thing that I will remember her, I thanked the Lord God for a mom like her its a Gods gift, and I promise to her before she died I will continue serving the Lord, I swear and God was so good,the time I pray to Him and answered after 3 days;and start my Journey to send my advice,beliefs and what is kobita means

  A Journey that we may say lots of miracle of Gods working and teaching to all, and you may remember God love all of His children even today still continue working with us, with the word there is changes in each life,God continue never stop teaching because He knows what is end of all our stories; He knows the end, we may have all best life in the end.

  I thoughts my life was stop when my mom died, I thoughts I cannot move and go to another steps, because I love my mom, my mom always on my sides, we always talk about God, I love all of her advice that makes me more to walks but when she died I feel all of road is black, I feel my breath is stop; even I continue reading the book of life God knows I try, and every corner of my house I see the face of my mom, even some friends of mine invited me in fellowship and when I was there and every time I saw old woman like mom I stop. every body knows that my mom and I was so close, for mine she is my best friend always with me even the day she is dying she want me to come with her, for many time I have fever she was there with me in dreams and every time we walk together there is creek and I saw her. but it will not continue because I heard a voice calling my name then I woke up

  but when I joined in positive kobita my life was changed for I learned how to write poems, even there is lot of trials , God is my eyes till the end He was there with me. and here now I am with you and my home based in thoughts for today, I learned many things about life and people, for I am not grow in a crowd like others.I thanked all of my teachers for God using them as my mentors and teach me what is more about right and good. and to all

  and this is I am now continue teaching the word of God, still here and stand firm on my faith with Him till the end is with God. always thanking Him for the life and steps that even mom was not here I know she was happy in heaven, and I thanked the Lord God for the spiritual gifts and others gift that she gave as what I say I am the same and there is no change, a simple person,God fearing and what I learned and to my mom I give to all of you even in dream and lives dream everyday I give it to all as it said Revelation 22:17

  And the Spirit and the bride says Come and let Him who hears says come and let Him who is thirst, come whoever is desire, let Him take the water of life freely.
