If God granted you one do-over, what would you do?

Question

What would you set right if you had the chance to do it over again?

Answer 1

Nothing. I know that everything I have been through and done, both good and bad, has taught me, and shaped me into who I am today. I thank God for all circumstances.

Answer 2

I would not have married when I was a baby Christian.

As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict wasting many years before I came to a point and said no more, and then it took another four years of sobriety to surrender to the Lord, however, if I had a choice between being a drug addict/alcoholic over a bad marriage, I would gladly allow the alcoholism to stand.

I was 35 years old and the mother of two daughters, ages 18 and 2, when I married for the first time. It wasn't because I never had the opportunity, I had several and could have even created a few, but somewhere as a little girl going to church a seed had been planted that God had to be a part of the marriage in order for it to be successful. My lifestyle certainly had no room for God, nor did I even see a Christian I was in treatment and then a year later, another Christian came into my life.

My marriage just recently ended and I've grieved over a bad marriage more than any of the horrors I experienced as a drug addict and an alcoholic.

In AA they teach you to not make any major decisions until you have at least a year of sobriety. Likewise, the same should be for Christians, do not make any major decisions untill you've had the Lord in your life for at least a year and you've been learning to wait on the Lord.

Answer 3

I would go to university and get a degree - and a Masters.

Its no fun to be still struggling in the work force 20 years later, with only a HS education

Answer 4

There's plenty of choices in my life but since I don't want to restart my life from the do-over...and because I it wasn't important enough, Ill have to pass...But I'm sure once school's over I'll definitely have my fair share of answers for this question.

Answer 5

God doesn't "grant" do-overs.

The do-over is already an integral part of the way the universe works. Whatever you don't learn in this life, you will learn in the next. You will be born again and again, learning, teaching, growing, loving, and getting closer and closer to what some cultures call "enlightenment."

It's not something to ask your god for. It's just the way it works.

Answer 6

I'd appreciate my educational opportunities more...study harder, learn more, probably would have majored in something else in college. I spent too much time worrying about other things and not enough time getting the most out of my education and I regret that now.

Answer 7

I've always said I would go to collage and become a math teacher but now I don't know because I am perfectly happy where I am now with the family I have.

Answer 8

You can set it all right.

What this means is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!

2Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)

Answer 9

I try not to think of what i should have done better, because I may not be where I am today. The past is the past and that's why they call it the past and you can't change it, but the future is something you could work on to make it better.

Answer 10

I'd probably ask for more than one do-over.

There are so many things each of us have done wrong or haven't done at all. The main thing is God knows our hearts and that is what counts.
