Letter Q
We are glad for our troubles also. We know that troubles help us learn not to give up. When we have learned not to give up, it shows we have stood the test. When we have stood the test, it gives us hope. -Romans 5:3-4

We are pressed on every side, but we still have room to move. We are often in much trouble, but we never give up. People make it hard for us, but we are not left alone. We are knocked down, but we are not destroyed. – 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

How do you move on from past regrets?

Have you ever found yourself getting upset about something that happened in your past and you just can’t get over that it happened? You keep beating yourself up over a decision that you made and your frustrated with the end result? How can you move on from your mistakes without feeling so bad about it?
Of course no one is perfect but it helps to be able to have a few tips in mind when you become bothered or haunted of past decisions that you know are not sitting well within you. Think about the following steps to help you move forward from past mistakes:
- What is it that you regret? This involves thinking about the situation and reviewing different actions that took place. Was it something out of your control? Did you do something or did someone else take part in that made the situation more difficult?
- Forgive yourself! Making amends may not make the situation go away but it is a sign that you acknowledge the fact and that you can grow while moving forward. In some cases you may have to ask for forgiveness of another if the situation involved other people.
- Accept it! It may take some time for you to accept the situation but it doesn’t mean you are okay that it happened. It is a part of life to accept things as they happen and be responsible in the future.
- Evaluate your relationships. People who you often hang with can influence your choices and some people don’t realize how true this is. You may have to think about who your “in” crowd is and change who you socialize with.
- Give yourself credit for what you have learned. Some often get caught up in what they did but as time moves on; most have been able to turn a negative into a positive. Maybe you were able to influence another into making better decisions for themselves.
- Create a plan or have steps to refer to when you feel like this again in the future.
You can write about it, talk about it and just keep in mind that we have all made mistakes! It’s best to leave it behind you and focus on the new day before you. Remember that mistakes are often good teachers and they don’t actually define who you are as an individual. You have time to make changes and make the progress that you want to achieve for yourself.

I wanted to share an article I came across by Science Daily that suggests certain drugs may have an effect on how the brain functions. The article talks about a study that was done reviewing commonly used drugs like Prozac and how serotonin levels in the brain are stimulated. The study also looks at other brain activity while using depression medications.
If you wanted to know how depression medications work to help improve your mood this article can give additional insight.

Rocky Waters by Tanisha Herrin
God is our safe palce and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble. So we will not be afraid, even if the earth is shaken and the mountains fall into the center of the sea, and even if its waters go wild with storm and the mountains shake with its action. Psalm 46:1-3
