I'm not a failure, but a work in progress. TW pg 95
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. TW pg 95
The real question is not whether you are going to fail, but rather how you will respond when you do. TW pg 100
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such
opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:1-3
Today went so-so. I felt discouraged that I was so mastered by sugar today. I know that my food choices were not the wisest today... On the positive note though I did stay within 0-5 with God's help.

And on a side note... We added a new member to our family today--Vanilla Caramel the guinea pig!
It was all quite spontaneous and unplanned. Vanilla is our first "real" pet (our last one was a fish)...and we got her for free through an ad on the internet! We have no clue how to care for this creature! So we have some research to do! Hopefully the night goes smoothly. It feels a bit like the first night we had our oldest daughter home from the hospital on the day she was born!
Amen! How we respond is the key. I believe our success will be over time, where the number of winning days beat the failure days. Welcome to your new family member. You look sooooo thin in this picture :) Your dedication to TW is paying off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for welcoming Vanilla:-) She really is a cute little thing. Having a pet is all very new to me! Hoping the kids stay motivated to take care of it and give it TLC.
ReplyDeleteThe pic of me is a bit weird. The second pic taken was a bit better in regards to smiles, but the camera was moving a bit so it was a bit blurry...so this was the best I could come up with (and second one wasn't posted)... Thanks for your kind words.
