What is failure? According to the definition failure is the condition or fact of not achieving the desired end or ends, one that fails, the condition or fact of being insufficient or falling short, or a decline in strength or effectiveness. I have only mentioned part of the definition, it goes on. I mentioned the part that I feel describes me. This is how I feel right about now.
Failure has always been a fear of mine. You always want to succeed in whatever you do. Most people know how to handle success but how do you handle failure? Even when you have people around you that genuinely care, what about those times when you are alone with your thoughts. I constantly think about that I am about to be 30 years old, with no job, no husband(we are getting a divorce), living at home with my parents, with no income. Am I a failure because of those things? In my mind yes. I feel like I have failed myself, failed my family, and my friends. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for my family and friends, they have both provided support in more ways than one. The feelings still linger.
Whats crazy is while typing this post, I was browsing the net and came across this scripture:
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
WOW, I got chills just from reading that.
This feeling of failure is only temporary. It shall pass.
