Hi Plenty,
I am sorry about the pain you are going through. I don't know where you are in terms of your mistakes (are they past mistakes or are they a constant present). I felt guilt for many years after some really horrible mistakes I made in the past. For years I repeatedly asked God for forgiveness for the same things. Then one day something clicked when I read Charles Stanley's monthly magazine. In the July 2005 issue he stated: "The problem, however, is that many Christians cast their care upon Him (Jesus) but quickly grab their troubles or anxiety right back." How true is this? Why can't we just trust God to handle our burdens? Why do we allow that yoke to be put back around our necks? I am telling you, Plenty, it was YEARS of guilt that caused me to walk around ashamed.
I have had to admit to myself and God that there were a lot of things about me that I needed to change. I still struggle with having a nasty attitude. And for years I blamed my attitude problems on other people. It was their fault that I was so stank – not mine. This is a constant struggle for me but I continue to strive towards being who God wants me to be. Some things in our lives will not be changed overnight. There will be continued battles as we fight to align our will with God’s will for us. I think that the best thing we can do for ourselves is to come to God truthfully about who we are and ask Him to help us with ourselves. I constantly ask God to help me get over myself. One of my constant prayers is that He will help me to put Him before me and that has helped. Accountability is key. God does make things happen but we are not robots – we have to make the effort. And when we accomplish things with a great deal of effort the reward is truly sweeter than if victory came easily. You can do it. You are the righteousness of God in Christ. (Not self righteous - righteous in Christ). Be encouraged.
By the way, I have personally been very encouraged by Charles Stanley and Joyce Meyer (her messages have helped me with my attitude). Both of their sites have their programs you can listen to online. But I would especially encourage you to seek out Charles Stanley's (intouch.org). The site has his programs from the beginning of the year to present and many have encouraged me.

I said a prayer for you. Your one sentence speaks volumes about how you feel. God loves you SO much and He has never expected you to be perfect. He's not surprised when you fail, He's holding you when you do. I know how it feels to want to turn the clock back and pick door number 2 instead of door number one. But one day you will get through this and it will be a story you'll tell your grandchildren.

GOD KNOWS...
When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts...
God knows how hard you have tried.
When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish...
God has counted your tears.
If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by...
God is waiting with you.
When you're lonely and your friends are too busy for a phone call...
God is by your side.
When you've tried everything and don't know where to turn...
God has a solution.
When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated...
God has the answer.
If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find rayes of hope...
God has whispered to you.
When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for...
God has blessed you.
When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe...
God has smile upon you.
When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow...
God has opened your eyes and called you by name.
Remember wherever you are or whatever you are facing...

I had forgetten that I post this. I had brought up all my post to look for something else.
I have just read this
I am seriously in tears.
I don't even know why I wrote that. I was feeling really bad, ya
I have def. had a turn-around. I don't mean to sounnd cliche.
But really have found myself, and I am excited about my future.
I can not believe who low, I was feeling just a week ago.
I was feeling like it was too late for me and my dreams of being a doctor would never come true. I think that is what it was.
I can never thank you ladies enough for your love, support, and prayers.
I think the lesson for me here was to, stop thinking about myself. And concetrate on God and helping othesr.
I can say this enough: I was feeling extreamly low that day. I felt like I couldn't breath that, my heart was so heavy.
Thank you Trea, for the poem. I just saved it to my computer.

Wow! NEVER think your goals are unreachable! When you do that they become dreams and we all know dreams are just a figment of out imagination. Just remember FORCE (focus on respect commitment and excellent). God has your back as long as you show him that you believe in what his os going to do. I too was worried about never becoming a doctor. I was arrested and had to go to court on charges that would have ended my career goals. I was convicted. My attorney decided to appeal the case pro bono. I awaited 4 months for a new trail. We went in and without me havign to say ANYTHING the ruling was overturned and the judge dismissed it with extreme prejudice. I can now proceed with a civil suit. For every time you stumble remmeber GOD has not forgot! He is our refuge.
