I pray that you learn to give yourself a little grace in those moments you feel disappointed. That you look to God first always, especially in those difficult moments where you want to just give up. “Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try” , my son. And the rest will fall into place.

God has been bringing me back to things I ran from years ago. He has shown me areas that I need healing in. It is never easy; that's why I ran all those years back. But you know what?
