Let us “pick up our cross” and stay true to the mission God has for each of us, which is to sacrifice ourselves for others and His glory and to live a life submitted to God’s will.  When we do that, joy is discovered and our journey on earth will be filled with meaning and purpose.

All of us desperately need to learn to fail forward.  The idea of failing forward is that through our personal weaknesses, shortcomings and failures that God teaches us about our need for Him, that He is sufficient in all things and that He uses our weakness to grow us.
