I realize today that I am pretty spoiled. I'm incredibly stubborn too. I go after the things I want in full force until I get it. Today, I did not get what I wanted. What I have been trying so hard to get. And yes, it came as a big shock because I'm not used to things not going in my favor. Thank goodness I have my faith to keep me humble before an All Mighty God. Otherwise, I would be a spoiled brat, and an incredibly stubborn brat. But because I have my faith, I am able to see my disappointment in a different way. Not a 'woe is me', or 'ugh not fair'. Instead, I am happily sad, rejoicing in disappointment, because God has a plan. Sometimes we need disappointment and sadness to keep us humble. When you are humble, your eyes are open and can better see what God may have in store for you next. And you can be sure, it will be for the best. He works all things for the good.
This was a good lesson for me. Although I've had humbling experience before, I think I was due for another. Maybe my disappointment is something you can relate to. Maybe you are battling some rejection, loss, or sadness too. I hope my writing helps you see the good that can come out of your circumstance.
(for the VERY few of you who know what im talking about, you know the story. i felt that writing about this vaguely instead of in detail, gave a much better interpretation of how God works in each our lives)
