We are who we are and we want what we want and to deny that is simply failing to be who God intends us to be.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795817810030681267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062606307866863736.post-78888554662511338752012-04-27T13:17:05.358-07:002012-04-27T13:17:05.358-07:00I think that quote is perfect. I think the answer ...I think that quote is perfect. I think the answer is yes, we do set ourselves up to fail. Although I'm not quite sure how to explain it! It's like we all want to win the game, come in first, be the best but we end up not living life. Like wanting that career, then buying that house before you have a baby. Have a baby and let God work out the rest for you.Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062606307866863736.post-19392165409528054002012-04-27T13:00:49.641-07:002012-04-27T13:00:49.641-07:00When I think of failure I think of never being abl...When I think of failure I think of never being able to correct or succeed. Christ has given us the redeeming power to pick ourselves up and try again. So, for me, failure is not recognizing what Christ has given us. Sure we make mistakes, but failure? To me, this is something Satan teaches. As long as there is hope, there is an opportunity to succeed!Becky Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350206500487732249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062606307866863736.post-50423113958706054142012-04-27T12:14:43.314-07:002012-04-27T12:14:43.314-07:00I think we are all on a journey of our own.
