UNDO

We have all been there. 45 minutes on the computer finishing a book review that is due next class period and you make one wrong move and you delete instead of saving it - and all your hard work is gone.
You freak for a second, but then you remember! You have a button that can take you back in time and erase that mistake, even giving you the chance to make it right by hitting SAVE and PRINT.

There are about 20+ times in the past week, let alone my life, that i would've done anything to have an UNDO button. To go back in time and make it right - all without any consequences, pain, embarassment or struggle.

But, at some point we have to come to grips with the fact that this idea is just not an option - so what do we do when, after a mistake, we reach for this fictional option? There is only one thing we can do...Learn.

Something tells me God is OK with mistakes as long as we are learning from them. In fact, i would even say we will never truly learn or grow without the occasional mistake. I am learning that when i miss IT, dont miss HIM.
