    Yes! To start over is not failure, it means you tried and was wise enough to know it wasn’t working. I like the saying, “Failure is only not trying.” I liked this post.

  2. This is a message we all need to be reminded of. In my darkest times I have simply sat silently in the Presence of God – a bit like Job – knowing that God is with me, and feels the pain I cannot put into words.

  3. Great word.
    I have had my fair share even in business of failures God blessed with the ability to let go and not holding on to stuff like my whole depends on those things.
    I always find a way by the guidance of the HolySpirit.
    This is a powerful message ma’am!

  6. It was 12 years ago that God Gave My Husband and I Our Surprise Baby, just after our oldest had flown from the coop. We were not prepared to start all over again, but praise God…He knew what we needed to rejuvenate our family. Thanks Beverley💕

  7. Forty years ago I was at work when my oldest daughter (11) called to tell me “Mommy I think Daddy is dead.” She and her sister (6) came home to find my husband crushed underneath the car he had been working on. My first thought was “How am I going to make it raising two little girls alone?” Immediately that verse from Matthew 28 came to my mind where Jesus said “I am with you always.” I knew that somehow, someway He would be with us and we would survive. Today my two daughters are Christian women, mothers (one is a grandmother) and using their God-given talents one as an elementary school teacher and one as a pastor. Later, as I was able to go on God gave me another Christian husband and we will celebrate 38 years of marriage this July. When we know He is with us – we have the strength we need to go on.
