My husband was super awesome and decided to take me ice skating for our anniversary. All is fun and games until you step out on that ice skating rink and expect one slender piece of metal on each shoe to keep you balanced.
As much as I tried, the only thing I could think about was how much my booty would hurt if those little metal pieces failed me. It seemed like the more I worried, the more I wobbled, and the closer I came to falling down.
After a few minutes of struggle I finally just gave up not trying to fall and embraced the fact that I may end up hurting myself on the ice. Here’s the irony;
When I embraced the possibility of failure, I actually ended up skating really well.
I feel like life is a little like that slippery ice skating rink. This world tells us that perfection is a necessity and because of that, we end up focusing a little too much on failure.
What if we just embraced the fall?
What if we asked God how He could use our mistakes?
The fact is, we are sinners and as long as we are on earth, WE WILL Fail.
God did not give us a spirit of fear {2 Timothy 1:7} so don’t be scared of failure. Sometimes, even our hardest falls can make the biggest difference and teach us so much.

As a recovering perfectionist I relate to your words. Failure is inevitable, but God teaches us through those falls that we can get up, and keep going…even stronger than before. I’m enjoying reading your words, Lovelle! Blessings.
