20/20 Hindsight: Seeing LIFE with Clearer Vision

“That’s hard with 20/20 hindsight,” my husband texted me as I finished processing the “what-ifs” of a past loss with him. 

“It’s unhealthy and unproductive to dwell in the past,” his text continued. “It can’t change anything.”  

If only we could have 20/20 vision in the present, maybe we would avoid the pain of the past. 

But we know that isn’t how life works. 

We can look back over the days of our lives and learn from past mistakes, but we can’t go back and change them.

What if instead of trying to change the past, we focus on living today with clearer vision?

What if we focus on living in the present, being intentional with our words and actions, and looking at our situation through the lens of hope?

 What if we look to the One who created it all and we try to see the world and our life through His eyes – with God’s vision, not ours?

God sees it all and knows how it’s all going to work out for His glory and our good. His vision is better than 20/20 hindsight. God’s vision is filled with forgiveness, restoration, peace, joy, love, and HOPE!

This is why we started LIFEstory a year ago. We want to be a place that points women to this truth. We want to be a place that shares stories of hope and equips others to live intentionally and focus eternally. We want to embrace God’s vision for our lives and spend each day trying to see our lives a little clearer – through His eyes and His promise of hope. 

Join us this month as we celebrate God’s goodness and our LIFEstory community. If you can’t join us in person, we’d love to hear from you. Send us an email and let us know how we can best support you and your LIFEstory journey!
