"Sometimes You Gotta Lose 'Til You Win"

Could Jennifer Nettles have sang it any better than in "Little Miss"? I really don't think so. It was just what I needed. That little reminder that it's okay to lose--that it's okay to fail, to completely break down.

I've learned but not yet mastered the practice of the fact that God leads you down the road you're meant to be on. You should not have regrets because He gave you the means to make the decisions you made. Whether you were meant to succeed, to fail, to learn something about yourself, to find joy, to reach your lowest point--each decision you make leads to certain outcomes for a reason.

"Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)

Have no worry, you're doing alright. :)
It's really a beautiful thing, to put that faith in God. When I'm feeling positive, I like to look at all the uncertainty in life as a great adventure and a challenge to greet it in the best way I can.
