Failing... more importantly, trying again!!

The bottom line is, life is about learning, whether you’re in school or not. We are human. We make mistakes. But your lowest moment might also be the one where you begin to rise, and rise. So double back. Regroup. Brush yourself off, and try again. -Sarah Dessen

I failed today. Remember that words test that I have been desperately trying to take before I ever open my mouth? Well, I have been doing 90% better at keeping things to myself because of that test. Today, however, I let my emotions get the best of me... I spoke out of anger, frustration, and to tell you the truth insecurity and fear! Not only did I fail to do the words test, but I failed to abide in Him, to listen to the truth of Him instead of the lies from the author of lies. In doing this, I didn't glorify God, I didn't present my best self, and as a result, I felt guilty, embarrassed, and about 2 feet tall!!

Then, I did what the quote at the top of this page says; 'I regrouped, brushed myself off, and I'm ready to try again!" My lowest moment today WAS the moment that I began to rise. I remembered that I am a daughter of the most High God. That He loves me beyond my imagination and that all I needed to do was to take a step back, humble myself, ask Him to forgive my human error, and ask Him to help me abide in Him and to do my very best to glorify Him.

Again, here is my prayer: "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." If you, like me, failed today... know that you don't have to wait until tomorrow to have a clean slate... right now you can have a conversation with your creator, because the truth is that the next moment is clean and free of mistakes... PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

Random Thought From Today: NOTE TO SELF... when allowing your toddler to "feed" himself with his spoon... purchase painter's sheets and cover the dining room floor and anything else in said toddler’s path!!

XOXO... thanks for reading my thoughts, moments of failure, and moments of victory! :)
