Faith in the Cracks – Allowing God to seep into the cracks in our lives.

Yesterday I received three no’s in different parts of my life. One was second hand regarding a job, the others were thanks but no thanks from publishers about 2 different children’s books. It felt like “3 strikes and you are out.” I spent some time wallowing in some self pity and self doubt, well, I ate some ice cream for lunch.

Then I needed to remind myself that just because I didn’t get a particular job or I didn’t get publishing contracts, those rejections are situational. The no’s don’t get to define me, I do. So while it is frustrating, annoying, disheartening, they are all situational and I need to just keep working. The next job or book pitch might be a yes. Might be a no, but there is no way to know unless I keep trying. Just because things didn’t go my way, I am still enough.
