Reframing Failure and Growth

There have been many times in my life when I have failed, even in front of many people. It was not pretty, and quite embarrassing at the time, though I have learned many valuable lessons from this experience I have learned resilience and not to care about what others think.

It's none of my business what other people think about me!

I have learned ot believe in myself despite many setbacks and divine interruptions. I've learned that "how far down the scale I go," I can depend on God in every situation as he will guide me through. I have learned to not be afraid of any circumstance, because no matter what, God will always be there, fighting my battles for me. "What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger" is definitely accurate and true.

I would suggest to anyone going through a hard time not to quit and to never ever give up. There is so much joy, love, beauty, and comfort waiting for you around the corner. Focus on something you love - a person, an animal, an activity- and keep that in your storehouse for moments of despair and of trial and when you do this, you will feel less alone and like someone cares - you care.

A friend refers to it to it as a "God Bank" - putting all of the good things in your life and things that you are grateful for in a cup or dish or box and when you're having a challenging time or difficult time, picking one out and recalling what that meant to you at the time. I also enjoy writing stories in my journal about all of the good things that happened in a day and referring back to them when I feel hopeless, down, fearful, or sad. God ALWAYS comes through. ALWAYS. ALWAYS KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT. You will be pleasantly surprised on what God brings your way and the healing and hope that is to come. There is no situation or pain or hurt to difficult for God to heal and use for good. He can do ANYTHING.

Nothing is impossible with God. HE is ALWAYS with you and you better believe it. Good things are ALWAYS to come and on the way. Be prepared to greatness and beauty from Father God! What a gift! .
