Today I got to do something I'm really bad at: I got to forgive myself for a mistake.
That's really hard for me. It's easy to remember that other people are worth more than their stumbles. It's easy to remember that they can overcome their hurdles and I can love them through no matter what.
But today I was twenty-three dollars short after a mistake that I had made before and I wondered if maybe I wasn't good enough to do my job, if maybe I should quit, if maybe I wasn't qualified to even drive my car and I should stay huddled in my room where I couldn't mess anything up for anybody else.
Today I had to find reasons to believe I was worth forgiving and continuing to believe in, and I found Bible verses.
I'm challenging you to write about a character who has made a mistake. How does he forgive himself? How does she move forward?
