So often we rely on our past encounters shape our lens for future occurrences. We decide we love chocolate cake after tasting a piece of grandma's special cake for the first time as a kid. We hate clowns because of a bad encounter. I know I personally am PETRIFIED of playing baseball/softball because when I was a kid, I was practicing t-ball with my mom in the backyard, who pitched a ball that hit me square in the eye. I haven't picked up a bat since.
Unfortunately, we often let our past negative experiences taint our futures. Who knows, maybe I could have been an AMAZING softball player (I highly doubt that though, as I have zero hand-eye coordination).
What I am learning is that despite my past, God has an amazing future for me. Each day is new, filled with His mercy, and I have to make a choice to hope for the best and move forward.
Lesson learned: Don't let your past taint your future.
