Defeat

So I attend college-which means that I have to write papers, and consider different discussion topics on a daily basis. A couple days ago I wrote prob. the worst paper I have ever written, on a topic I absolutely adore, for a prof. I really respect. Today I received my grade. It wasn't failing, not even really close to failing. Just around what I thought it would be. I was hoping there would be some hidden genius to my work. Some small light. No such luck.

Defeat.

I keep tasting defeat, today it was in the form of an essay, yesterday it was in a Glissade, tomorrow it might hide in another form. I might frame my defeat today, as a reminder. Yet I am very thankful that our creator does not define me by my moments of defeat.

So if you feel defeated this week, or like you have failed in some way... look on the bright side, Know that your faults do not define you. You have been redeemed.

Love,

Melissa
