Just because it's a "no" now, doesn't mean it will always be a "no."

Over the past few weeks, I have been working feverishly trying to obtain a new, full time job with some fabulous benefits. I thought I had finally found the perfect job for me. It was just around the corner from my house and would offer almost twice the pay of what I am receiving now. I passed the assessment, which most people didn't pass. I got an interview the very next day. And then, after waiting for almost a week to hear the results, I finally received the answer last night. It was a "no." It's hard sometimes, hearing the word "no." So many times, we make the mistake of building all our dreams around the hoped for "yes" that we entirely ignore the possibility of the no. It's almost like post-wedding blues. You've built yourself up for so long and then you fall flat, in my case, it's because something I was expecting didn't happen.

But thankfully, God hasn't removed the possibility of a new job from my future. I know that there is a perfect job out there, somewhere, just waiting for me. Until then, I am going to do my best to keep my chin up, and "forgetting what is past, press forward."
