So a few weeks ago we received around 2-3 inches of snow. Surprisingly I wasn't thinking of going outside and snowboarding, but was stoked on the idea of riding bike because riding bike in the snow can be one of the most fun things to do.
As I was riding down the road planning to take a sketchy route down a closed road that had been washed out last fall. Not only is this road sketchy to ride down, but when there is snow you can't tell exactly where rocks and dips are. Either way I was a little worried about potentially hurting myself on the closed road as I was heading down the road from our driveway. I was just having fun sliding my back tire and then all of a sudden before I even got to the tough part of the road I wreaked. My front tire skidded out and I went down on my side.
Then when I was riding up to the neighbors after navigating the closed road I was thinking about wreaking and what I could learn form it. Then the thought came to me of how my imperfections or wreak should remind me that I am human. I am not perfect and I mess up.
So instead of being scared as I'm falling or being scared at the potential pain, I should embrace the fact that this is proving I'm not God and I'm a fallen creature. We should embrace the embarrassment because we are all the same, we mess up, and this should help us to see God as bigger and greater than ever before.
Profoundly change your point of view of embarrassment so that it reminds you that God is perfect and doesn't mess up. Unlike God who is fault-less we are fault-full.
