My friend Bernice sent me this song and it was God's perfect timing for me to receive it.

I've been trying really hard to be thorough at work but this time I felt like it was beyond my control. For some reason the machine I setup for testing was found to have been setup incorrectly. I remembered eyeballing the exact spot that was set incorrectly. From what I remember it was set right. How could I have messed that up? But yet I have no proof that I did it right. The one in charge doubts me and I start to doubt myself too.

And then I receive an email with this song and these lyrics speak straight to my heart.

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it's more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don't you give up now


It doesn't matter what you I've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It'll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I am only human and I cannot avoid failures.
God reminds me
"Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason for someone not to try"
Even though I'm discouraged and doubtful of the outcome, there is no excuse to not try.
Life is so much more than this setback.

Thank you God for your reminder that you continue to love me when I fail.

Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli

I loved this song when I first heard it even though I didn't know all the lyrics; I was still able to make out what she was saying/singing. I don't remember when I first heard Free to Be Me, but I think it was during the summer, when I had nothing to do during the weekdays... K-Love played this song a lot, and it's inspiring to know that God loves me for me, even though He knows all my flaws and imperfections, "but perfection is my(our) enemy," because it is even though I do strive to make straight lines for projects, and I do try to remind myself that perfection is my enemy. This song helps through those moments when I try to write in a straight line for worksheets, projects, etc.. "I'm free to be me, and you're free to be you!" God loves you for you, and remember perfection is our enemy.
