It is so interesting, that we tend to be our own worst critic. We, you and I, are the first to say negative words over our situations, maybe in hopes that if we say it before others do their negativity will not sting as bad. Maybe it is that in moments of stress, we go back to what is familiar even if it is not comfortable. Familiarity will take you to places that are not productive or healthy, only familiar.
My friend, I want to encourage you to stop beating yourself up for the mistakes of the past. What happened is over. Learn the lesson and move forward. Rehearsing the details won't change the outcome, it will just get you stuck in the cycle of what ifs.
You are a work in progress. A piece on the potter's wheel being shaped and molded for God's glory. No fine vase is made in seconds. The Potter must take their time shaping, molding, cutting away, and adding to the piece. The wheel must move with speed while the Potter adds water to keep it moving smoothly.
Sometimes it feels like the wheel is going too fast, the clay is too dry and the Potter's hands are just not working in your favor. Those are the times when we just have to know that we are a work in progress. You will get to your final time of shine but it takes time and fire. Go through the process.
And as always remember to...live Blessed
