I used to think growing was about success.  Look how far I have come.  Look at the growth I have obtained.  Now I realize growth is about failure.  It is a process.  It is the experience of changing and moving and most importantly being on the field.  If I am sitting in the stands to watch the others play it is a great spectacle. If I am willing to get out on the field and play, the game of life begins to mean something to me.  I am no longer just watching but I am in the experience and I am growing along with the rest of the players.  Growth means bumps and bruises.  It means trial and error and trial and error again.  With God I have a coach who is encouraging and keeps sending me back into the game.  She shows me how to get up, dust myself off, and use what I learned to run another play.  After a game I can look back at all I have learned, see my growth, and know what courage and power I have going into the next one.
