"To fall is not to fail. You fail when you don't try."
It's funny how the word "no," which might bring about the crushing disappointment of dreams deferred, can actually bring relief and freedom. The first flight of a bird might not be majestic, but the point is - it flew.
Amen, sister! TOTALLY a lesson I'm learning right now too! Makes me think that God saying "no" to Adam and Eve eating of that tree was not to withhold wisdom and greatness from them--but was to protect them and keep them in a wholistic, dedicated and loving relationship with Him--in complete unity with Him. And yet while they sinned and separated themselves and all of humanity from God--He still sent Jesus here to give us the possibility to get back up and fly--having faith in Him!
I am simply complex, broken and made new, and ruined for greatness. I laugh so hard that I cry. I have the ability to smile through my tears. Heartache is common, and joy is everywhere simply waiting to be acknowledged. I am lost in grace and hoping to help guide others. I talk about God and go out of my way to step on that one crunchy leaf. I dream, I work, I eat, I sleep. I see beauty and brokenness everywhere. I act, I dance, I write, I paint. I am human. I try to be myself. I will fail you, but I won't give up. Let's be friends.
