Sorry to hear of you...What a beautiful card Susan. Sorry to hear of your disappointment. One thing I am working on in myself is not reacting to things with disappointment, even though it's often an initial reaction. I know that He has plans for me that I do not know yet, and that everything happens according to them. I have to remind myself to have faith in that when my initial response is hurt...<BR/>Sending hugs!<BR/>JamiJamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777637235185018087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463728094330899921.post-76794063739568691802009-01-07T16:27:00.000-08:002009-01-07T16:27:00.000-08:00Oh my friend you write so eloquently and I really ...Oh my friend you write so eloquently and I really needed to hear what yo had to say, I am sorry that you are hurt by this rejection and KNOW it has already made you stronger and wiser....

Rejection in any form is never easy; perhaps some learn to behave better when they are faced with it (definitely not me!), but it always hurts our hearts. Praying that God's grace will release you from your pain so the joy and closeness you desire with Him will be your focus once again! {hugs}Anne Haradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02121908568990367515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463728094330899921.post-21691143512298667792009-01-04T20:23:00.000-08:002009-01-04T20:23:00.000-08:00Susan, I'm so glad i stopped in and had the opport...Susan, I'm so glad i stopped in and had the opportunity to read this post. I am struggling with how to deal with failings/rejections of my own, not liking some of my reactions to adversity of late, and this helps remind me that we all hurt, but it is how we deal with the pain that really defines who we are and who we might become. Thanks for sharing, and i wish you the strengh to overcome what is hurting you.<BR/>smiles,DeenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3463728094330899921.post-15415276954032212082009-01-04T15:04:00.000-08:002009-01-04T15:04:00.000-08:00Leave it to you to have a perfect oyster shell ima...Leave it to you to have a perfect oyster shell image...complete with a pearl!
