Failure can lead to success!

The other day I was asked if I would consider joining the Board of Directors of a growing Not for Profit Organization. I replied that much of the added value I could bring to the Board was from many successes that I have experienced as a direct result of failures along my path. The Executive Director who asked me to join the Board was glad to hear that I would be real and that I knew what to and what not to do.

Some of my failures were a direct result of anxiousness or poor decision making on my part, occasionally from bad information and some were a result of others dealing deceitfully. Most of the lessons I have learned from the failures lead to the sweetest successes in my business and personal life.

Today, I am surrounded by a group of incredible friends who are real about successes and failures, most giving glory to God for both and have a vision of the future that encourages the next generation. Getting is a given, giving is intentional.

Join me in giving away what I cannot keep.

What is it?

You may know these twins; grumbling and complaining.
Exodus chapters 14,15 and 16
Shortly after the children of Israel were miraculously delivered by the mighty hand of God , and praised God for the deliverance, they then grumbled and complained. God's mind towards the children of Israel was to prove them. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Th 5:18

Today

Thinking about today, right now; not what might happen tomorrow, but today. I started a word search of "today" in the Blue Letter Bible online . Today appears in the NKJV of the Bible 163 times in 149 verses. Today's today is found in Exodus 14:13 "And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever." I encourage you to read Exodus chapters 14 & 15. God spoke to me about fear, promise, trust and salvation in these chapters. Share what God's word speaks to and may we encourage each other in our walk with the Lord.
