Stumbling blocks = Stepping Stones

Jon and I like to listen to Joel Olsteen on Sundays when we miss church service sometimes. Basically, we have our "church time" on our couch by listening to Joel on TV. He's a very positive speaker and always offers a good message. This last Sunday, his message was "you are not defined by your past. Your past prepares you for the future." Bottom line, don't let past disappointments and regrets steal your joy and dreams for the future. We grow during difficult times and the stumbling blocks we must encounter become our stepping stones to a better tomorrow.
