what up, failure?

recently im trying something new in my life: failure.
not that ive never failed before, im just beginning to accept failure.
its come in the simplest of ways: cooking.
i am a terrible cook. i've decided that the only way for me to get better is to fail.
last week i ruined my chicken. yesterday, i ruined my potatoes.
how in the world do you ruin a potato?
im not sure, but i did it.
im learning to allow myself to be okay with failure.
its a journey; i tend to live a life of perfectionism and failure doesnt really have room in a perfectionist world.
its a humbling experience and as it started in the kitchen, i am opening it up to other areas of my life.
as i learn about failure, i learn about grace.
the only way to receive grace is through failure.
if i never failed and was always perfect i would never need Jesus' grace to redeem me.
so here is to failure.
bring it on.
