[...] The trip was amazing in so many ways, both on a personal and spiritual level. A few weeks ago I shared an experience here on the blog where God showed me a picture of what spending time with him looked like. It was so cool. (If you didn’t read it, I invite you to – here’s the link). [...]

It sounds as if you’re standing in my shoes. This is exactly where I find myself as I write this.
A quote that I read years ago and often comes back to my memory says “Success is never certain but failure is never final.”
Just this morning I began reading John Maxwells’s “Failing Forward” which as I read says that failure is a part of success. Success is a journey, it’s a process that is worked at day by day. Realize that there is a difference between average people and acheiving people.
I’ve only read two chapters and this is what he says:
People think failure is avoidable – it’s not. We are imperfect people.
People think failure is an event – it’s not. Failure is a process.
People think failure is an objective – it’s not. Setbacks are not seen as failures.
People think failure is the enemy – it’s not. Mistakes are what we learn from.
People think failure is irreversible – it’s not. People who correctly see failure take it in stride.
People think failure is a stigma – it’s not. Mistakes are not permanent markers.
People think failure is final – it’s not. The appearance of failure does not need to keep you from acheiving.
In the midst of the challenge of failure is the need to remain positive, looking toward the calling that He has for us. Keeping our eye on the hope that is ahead of us is where we can lean on the Lord and our brothers and sisters to get us through.We must keep looking up.
