What will you decide?

I was watching the figure skating competition on Saturday evening.  I watched defending champion Kimmie Meisner and wow is she a top notch skater.  However, during her long skate, she fell down THREE times!!  After her third fall, she just skated around for a moment.  I thought she was going to leave the rink.  But she made a decision at that moment.  She kept going.  And for that last little bit left of her performance, she skated better than anyone else did that night.  She nailed the last jump.  She put her heart and body wholly into the final spin series.  She refused to give up, even though she knew she had already lost.  It was the most courageous thing I've ever seen.  I felt so proud of her.  It must feel crushing to know you have failed so miserably and still give 100% to finish.  Had she chosen to quit at that moment, it would be so much harder for her to try again at some point in the future.  Wow. That's heart.  That's grace.  What will you decide when you are facing failure?  Who will you turn to for courage?  I can do all things through Christ.  You can, too.
