Here’s my favorite quote from Neil Gaiman, author of short fiction, novels, comic books, graphic novels, audio theater and films:
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
“Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
“So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
“Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.”
What’s a recent mistake you’ve made and how did it change you? How did it change your world?

Dear Lynn, Lasr night I
trully lived my faith in
Jesus Christ. I went to
bed hungry last night,and
asked Jesus to help me
not eat anything during
the night. To depend on
Him alone. I drifted off to sleep praising the Lord
through the alpha-bet. His injumction, also did
some floor exercises during the night, His idea,The prayer was
Jesus directed. Give me
a plan when I can see no other way but to snack. The mistake was
that I would not know the physical reaction and
pain there would be when I set out with Jesus. My flesh was upset. And it let me know with pain. The battle was the Lords I was a grateful participant in the victory.
This is not exactly what
you were asking for, but
yes I stepped out with God and we celebrated together. Amen I have had victories before but
this was totally trusting
Jesus. Amen again,Love
Jeannie
