If God gave you the chance to reverse one mistake you've made, what would it be?

Question

I would have saved for and bought a house when my husband and I first got married. Now we're struggling nine years later renting an apartment, dumping our hard-earned money into someone else's future. Houses are way overpriced nowadays. 30 years ago most families with single incomes could afford homes. Not the case anymore!!!

Answer 1

My mistake I would reverse is having sex before marriage. I was never taught when I was younger that you were suppose to save yourself for marriage, therefore I lost my virginity at 13 because my mom allowed my boyfriend to stay the night. I became Saved at the age of 18 and found out that it was wrong! Now I am 27 and often think about that if I would have remained a virgin until marriage, that I wouldn't feel so lonley now, as I wait for the Lord to place a mate in my life and I am sure that I wouldn't have made a lot of mistakes because of it. So, that is my mistake reversal, is that I would still be a virgin while I await my mate.

Answer 2

I would of gone to college. I really did not think it was necessary back in the 70s, but, after living in this day and age, you really NEED a degree! All that's left out there are low paying jobs, and you cant get anywhere, and the types of jobs you have to do are not the best, and I feel I'm not using my full potential at what I could of been doing. My husband agrees with me, and at our age now, after putting in so many years with our companies, it would be hard to go back to school now! All I can do now, is be glad my kids know better. My son graduated from Southwest TX., and my older daughter, has her own photography business, and my youngest daughter is currently attending college. At least they did the right thing!

Answer 3

There isn't much to change because many big mistakes were before I had kids and I may not have had these particular kids if I had made different choices. I suppose it would be not taking a particular job that was offered to me recently or not having marketed my business as much as I should have one or the other would have lead to a better income.

Answer 4

I'm not sure but it won't happen so I don't like thinking about it. But if I could reverse one act, it'd be this lie I told back in the 6th grade. It still haunts me but at least people know the truth and forgave me and trust me again. It wasn't a horrible lie but for a sixth grader it was elaborate.

Answer 5

Honestly? None. There is no point in doing so in my opinion. All the choices I have made, including all the mistakes, have made me who I am today and if I were to change any of that, I would essentially be changing myself. Plus I would risk losing all the people that I hold dear.

Answer 6

well i really honestly dont regret anythign in life because even though i had the most least perfect life all those experiences have made who i am and i rather be me my self a 14 year old guy with a screwed up family with no money than a stupid spolied person who hates them selfs and are insecure :)

Answer 7

I would have to see a list of them. I've screwed up so many things that I've forgotten most of them. If I was to guess though it would be not taking a chance to ask a certain girl out in high school.

Answer 8

Marrying a model

Answer 9

Excellent question and some very intense answers.

Not getting out of religion when I first felt like I should. I regret not investigating sooner.
