Brave Diver

I just heard from my high school swim/diving coach after 30 yrs and he said, "Jody, you were a brave diver.". I told him I'm not sure that I've done anything exceptionally well, but I do think I've been brave. That could go on my tombstone, "She was a brave diver." I think I see a theme today. God is awesome!

Now, some borrowed thoughts to go along with this.
“In God's world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.”
~ Frederick W. Robertson

“If you have made mistakes , there is always another chance for you . You may have a fresh start any moment you choose , for this thing we call "failure " is not the falling down, but the staying down .” unknown

“If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.” - Woody Allen

“None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.” Romans 8:37 (The Message). We don't fight for victory; we fight from victory!

“Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD.”

Or in other words:
“Be brave. Be strong. Don't give up. Expect God to get here soon.”
Psalm 31:24

Hope this encourages you today.
