I will not Regret

I'm so hip, even my errors are correct....

Everything that's happened to me has made me so strong... I mean.... I can't even look at my errors and be like... " I wish I never did that." I'm at such an awareness of the supernatural, and the natural at such a good age that I'm more than thankful. I heard a sermon by T.D. Jakes and he was discussing the mindset of someone that's used to and accustomed to winning every battle. He said sometimes some people are so used to winning all the time that they cannot handle their first knockout. He said when you win, you've got to be strong enough to keep winning and humble enough to maintain what comes along with winning, because the minute you think you're the hottest thing, here comes the fall. Jeremiah and Zechariah also tried to explain what it felt like to see a city, a King, or someone of prominence fall. Those around them cannot fathom in their minds what could bring a great person or nation down. But, I've learned that Pride comes before a fall. Jakes also related it to Mike Tyson, the once highly favored heavyweight champion of the world, who is now really suffering. Society is only concerned with the winners. The educational system is centered only around successful battles, and successful inventions. Sadly, it seems he's never been the same since Buster Douglas defeated him in the tenth round because Mike had previously won 37 matches in a row. He was the champ. And after he fell the same people that cheered for him, made fun of him. After a "winner" loses it seems that he or she's world goes tumbling and spiraling down shortly afterward. The winner struggles because they were never prepared for defeat, or for the comeback. And then there are some that are so used to losing every battle that when they win they're suprised. There are friends I've lost, friends I've gained. Money I thought I wasted, but "all things work together for the good of those that love HIM and are called according to his purpose.
