Success


In the three years since Oliver and I have been married we have had seven jobs between us, two college graduations, two children, our income level had changed from working poor to middle class back to working poor, and we are about to move for the seventh time. It has been the best and most trying time of our lives and I wouldn't take a day back. Sometimes though I wonder if we've fallen behind too far or just flat out failed in some areas. I came across this quote today and was encouraged. I hope you find renewed confidence and strength by it also.

"The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails - but rather the one who moves on in spite of failure."
Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life, p370

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philipians 1:6
