I cheer you on! No, really. You have so much wonder behind you, currently with you, and far ahead of you. Oh, don't think that I deny your heartache nor break. No. No. Such takes its toll...or at least takes a stab at it. Each of us could trump the next person's heartbreak rehearsings. I've got a few packed away myself.
The profoundly good news is that no one has to live...nor re-live... those moments for each of us has a gift handed to us by the Creator. He has given us minds which are capable of making decisions. How life is going for us cannot always be chosen. How we react to it is always up for grabs...our reach.
I'm not trying to be PaulAnna here. My walk is not one of pretense when it comes to the subject of rejection, discouragement, nor disappointment. But stronger and truer (and much more funner to experience) is the glory of God; the wonder of possibility which accompanies each and every terribly bad moment. Hope...biblical, spiritual hope...is not a slight "give it a shrug and wish for the best" nod from Heaven's Board Room.
So guess what. There isn't a reader among us who doesn't have voice of desperation and frustration when it comes to a few things having gone/are going wrong. No exception exists. Yet, some choose to win while others choose to shrink back. It isn't what has gone wrong that determines our day. It's what we decide about the entire scope of our walk.
Our thinking sets the stage, dresses the players, and enacts the roles. Therefore, think...really ponder...about the potential of being thrilled with life. Such. Possibility. Is. Only. A. Thought. Away.
