What would 3-years-ago-you think of you today?

I ask because I am feeling like I have gone through a lot of major changes in a short amount of time, personally. Just curious.

Weak pathetic unloved uncared about meaningless useless beyond dumb a worm of worms disgusting the list goes on these are all words that I described myself as three years ago today I consider myself weak but rejoice in it because he has shown his great power in my weakness I no longer feel uncared about I no longer feel meaningless or dumb I no longer consider myself a worm or disgusting. in fact just this past year alone God has molded me in many profound ways the old me couldn't possibly believe this is who I would be even if I showed up traveling through time

The me of three years ago would think it's so cool that I finally found chords for "Chasing after You" and the soundtrack I made actually turned out great! But he would wonder why I don't sing that song very often at church. There are just so many other songs that I want to sing...

Probably nothing. Maybe that I'm crazy for giving up pizza & soda lol. I might be a little less easy-going than I was, but I haven't really changed that much with personality or anything like that.

You answered but didn't answer the actual question, I think. If the you of three years ago could see the you of now, if the you of three years ago could have seen into the future to see you now, what would of three years ago have thought of the you now. OP, did I get that right?

Three years ago my life slowly turned upside down. I wouldn't have believed all I went through if someone had warned me about it three years ago. I wish I could say that I'm doing ok now, but things are still difficult, questions are still very much unanswered and some things will never be the same again..

I thought of questions like this many times, and I still don't know the answer.

Not to say that I have absolutely no clue, but buy-and-large, I couldn't tell you who I was 3,5,10 years ago any more than I could tell you who I'll be 3,5,10 years from now...

Everything in life is a choice or the result of one. Much of 'who we are' tends to be circumstantial. I've been many different people, and yet the same me my whole life long. In a similar fashion, should the future come, I imagine I will change and not change many more times.

I just hope God has a large part to play in the whole process, and that in the last I can be a sinner saved by grace; a good and faithful servant; a man after God's heart; and so on.

We all have it in us to be Judas or John. Our story could be like David or like Saul.

Me too! The single me of three years ago would be extremely surprised to hear I am married now. I am not married, but still I would be surprised to hear it :D

Still, I think I would be surprised to hear I would be in love in three years. I have been on a crazy wonderful adventure.

Three years ago me would be very proud that all the hardships that have been placed in my path have not made me a cold emotionless individual. She would also be proud that I continue to stay strong in my faith. And she for sure would say I still ROCK as a mom!!!!

Yep, that's right, JosephsDreams.

Blain, it sounds like you've gone through a lot of growth yourself - the spiritual extremes you describe in your post, your younger self might have been in disbelief to know where you'd end up, eh
