My life
"After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again." - CS Lewis, Mere Christianity
"One of the greatest stresses in life is the stress of waiting for God." - Oswald Chambers
poo.
but there is hope!
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. ~Isaiah 43:18-19
don't let my past failures condemn me and keep me from hoping in God's redemption for me in the future. where my life was barren and empty, will be filled with His blessings, if only I can open my eyes.

That insightful CS Lewis quote is one of my favorites. The new day is a real gift from God - no matter how many times we screw up in a day, when we awaken the next day, we begin anew and try again. That persistence is what leads to real hope (Romans 5:3-5).
