Failure is not fatal! Such good news after the week I’ve had with my current Scripture Memory Challenge. I’ve been failing BIG TIME! It was going so well for the first 15 days! And then I hit a wall. One failed day led to another and to another and to another. Have you ever opened your Bible and been like…..blahhhhhh?! It’s a terrible feeling but it happened to me several times last week. I don’t blame God. He’s always ready to talk to me. I don’t blame the Bible. It’s always got the same amazing content. Must have been just one of those days for me. Or I guess several of those days!
So have I failed? I think I’ve memorized 18 scriptures in the past 25 days, which is 18 more than I memorized in January. 🙂 But I still am 6 scriptures short of fulfilling my February Mom Challenge. I guess it was called a “challenge” for a reason. It’s not supposed to be easy!
I definitely won’t call myself a failure. Have I kept up with the challenge? No. Should I throw in the towel because I missed a couple days? Heck, no! I’m doing these monthly challenges to stretch myself and failing every once in a while is expected. Getting back up and pushing forward is what a challenge is all about. I’m only a failure if I quit. So I’ll keep working on memorizing scripture every day for these last few days of February.
Failure is only fatal if I quit. So I’m pushing on to complete the last 3 days of this challenge! This failure will not be fatal!
Have you been doing this challenge with me? How’s it going?
