One of the cruel things about failure is that it can make you afraid.

Hey Readers!
    Well today may not be a long post just something I feel I need to write it helps me understand the way I'm feeling. I went through a rough patch not too long ago where my dad had to kidnap me and have one of those father daughter talks because I didn't know what I was doing. I told him "Dad Ive failed before what makes me so sure I wont fail this time and I don't even know if I know what love is" and with that my dad answered "theres your answer your scared because you've failed and don't tell me you don't know what love is we didn't raise you that way you know exactly what love is." So with that being said as I finished James i read something that really hit home for me. Being engaged 3 times and been married and divorced you feel like the ultimate failure(thats even without everyone and their moms opinions) (all before 25) and you feel like you've let everyone down including God, and it makes you so scared to try again. So when I read this....it fit. and ill end it with this.

     "Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms."-James 5:13
   Did you know that falling short of a goal is not a very good indicator of how successful a person will be in life? Success comes from people who never quit trying.Failure may shake them up, but it doesn't stop them. You've got to jump right back in and try again when you fail. Don't let a failed goal beat you up. Making a mistake doesn't make you a failure in life!Its important to constantly pursue excellence in every area of your life. But the fact is, you will fall short somewhere along the way. Learn from your mistakes and take all your anxieties to the Lord. One of the cruel things about failure is that it can make you afraid. Some people get so afraid of failing again they refuse to try. (that's where i was i didn't want to try i want to say love didn't exists for me the easy way out) So pray pray pray and ask the Lord for strength to face the challenge again. Ask him to provide a clear path for you to walk through-removing obstacles that tripped you up before. Each time you think about your failure, talk to God about it. Give him the burden of it, thank him for the great success you are to him and listen as he whispers to you, "never never give up."
