Grace, Grit & Grounds: If I Could Turn Back Time | Walnut, Regret, and Redemption

There are moments when life gets quiet… and the question shows up. What if? What if I had chosen differently? What if I had taken the chance? What if I could turn back time? In this episode of Grace, Grit, and Grounds, I take a beautiful piece of walnut with a striking line of sapwood and turn it into a wide, shallow blessing bowl. Along the way, we step into something deeper than woodturning. We wrestle with regret. We sit with the weight of past decisions. And we confront the truth that every life carries roads we wish we could walk again. But here’s the question that matters most… What if God wastes nothing? From the first cut on the lathe to the final finish, this piece becomes a reminder that even the things we would rewrite have shaped who we are. The grain tells a story. The process reveals something deeper. And maybe, just maybe, redemption has been at work the whole time. If you’ve ever found yourself looking back, wondering what might have been… this one’s for you. Take a breath. Slow down. Let’s work through it together.
