Rejection Is Direction

Whenever a door closes that I thought would be open to me, I've learned to see it as guidance instead of a sign of defeat... 

Whenever a door closes that I thought would be open to me, I now see it as God's direction instead of his rejection of me...

And whenever a door closes that I thought would be open to me, I now know that it as a blessing to be able to avoid what "appears to be good" but is ultimately not the best for me.


Rejection is really direction.  Pay attention to your signs.

Never Ending Relationships

Image
... One person asked me if she should " stay friends " with someone after  the relationship was over ... and I couldn't help but wonder how she could split up the two... as my experiences of relationships have taught me how, although the circumstances in our relationships change, the reality of us having a relationship with another person  does not .. . For we may no longer be within the same frame of that picture together, but the "content" of it is what always lingers and remain. . I can personally attest to my relationships living and continuing to live in some of the most intimate parts of my thoughts, memories, heart and sometimes other relationships... long after I've parted ways with people... So it becomes very important to me to internally and eternally stay friends ... because I know relationships never really ends...

Sharing Some Thoughts

'Whenever I'm unsure what I'm called to do, I simply get started with what I think it is and expect God to guide me as I go....' ‘Sometimes I get the feeling that I take myself "way too serious"... but then I remember,  it's just a feeling ...' ‘In the spirit of those (before my time) who truly write, I too understand why I write... It's because (for me) there is  no other choice... ‘For some time, we spend parts of our lives being afraid... of success, love, being right and even wrong... and this is where it gets us... He re ... But what if we decided to spend the rest of it NOT afraid... to see what that gets us?  I bet it will be something different...’ 'I spend quite the time writing about love because I’ve found the place where it lives... What a treasure...’ ‘In listening and learning in silence, I can see how we are forever teaching and learning from each other - whether we mean to or not.... And no matter what subjects we

Running To Win

In all of the things that we hope for and pursue, I 1st Cor 9:25 reminds me to be sure that I am running my race to win.  For athletes go into strict training and go through a lot of trouble for a crown... ribbon... or a silver cup that will not last ... But us "born again" folks do it for a heavenly reward that never  disappears.. Let us keep on loving and serving one another in the places we are called to be - in our homes, jobs and everything else outside of that... and be "purposeful" in every step while doing it as we head towards the finish line. Run To Win. ~ Chana
