I love to create and one of my greatest successes in the creative area recently was the completion of the marble. It took two thick coats of resin and dried with a glass-like finish. The client LOVED it!!! I tried to do a sunflower T-shirt design with the word faith. It looked great! But I forgot to heat set it before I put it in the dryer, and I smudged the colors terribly – an epic fail!
I planted a garden this spring that I thoroughly enjoyed watching grow. I had in my mind great big watermelon and cantaloupe fruits to enjoy this fall. I have amazing carrots, and we even got corn. The squash has practically taken over the compost area, but the melons are tiny or nonexistent. Next year we’ll try again...
I brought a friend to church with me pretty consistently, and it felt great to be involved in the process of sharing the gospel. My friend cooled, but I have a good friend….
I held my tongue... I thought a judgment that influenced my actions...
I have to wonder if a success is a failure, and a failure is a success!
I have to wonder if on some level a success is a fail, and a failure is a success! My failed sunflower project re-taught me something of value that will lead to success! I’ll try the melons again next year… I’ll keep my friend regardless of religion… I’ll recommit and rededicate to hundreds of things I am trying to improve at. If I could do them perfectly the first time, what would I learn? Without growth, it becomes an epic fail in the long run. The Lord says there is supposed to be opposition in all things. Ultimately, my opposition is shaping and molding me into something better [I hope]! Opposition has been a transforming ingredient in my life that has yielded greater wisdom and love for others.
