So after several suggestions of a blog, I have decided to officially start blogging again. I can't promise the frequency of these blogs but it will be more frequent than my monthly newsletters. I figured this will also be a great way for you to get more updates on me personally as well as updates on everything going on here in L.A. or wherever I might be.
These past couple of months have been interesting ones. Its been a season of waiting and truly choosing to hold onto God. I don't know if you have ever experience a season like this but in my life I have always been in stormy seasons or awesome seasons but never in this flat season. God has definitely been teaching me a lot. I spent a while struggling with feeling like a failure and focusing on things I should have been doing. It wasn't fun. haha. Anyways, in FL a speaker said something that spoke so deeply to me I have been sharing it with everyone. He talked about how the 3 things American's want to hear the most are: I forgive you, I love you, and Dinner is ready. Then, he said how that is pretty much the gospel. Jesus forgives us, loves us, and just wants to eat with us and have a relationship with us. He doesn't care about mistakes we have done. I LOVE THAT!
Then I started to really think about failure. Its viewed as such a negative thing. Really, it's not the failure thats bad, it's the way we respond from it. If you know me you know that Jesus speaks to me through Disney references 95% of the time. He reminded me of the movie Meet the Robinsons. He uses this movie a lot with me. haha. Basically, in the movie, Lewis gives himself a hard time for his failures but is reminded by everyone to keep moving forward. The line that I was reminded of was from aunt Billie. I don't remember the exact words but she said "from failure you learn from success no so much."
I just wanted to encourage everyone by letting you all know that we are all bound to make mistakes, but try not to get so caught up on them. Keep Moving Forward!
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. - Walt Disney
