New Experiences, New Growth

Whenever, I'm rejected for something I ponder on what I could have done to make the situation better. Was my outfit professional enough? Did I use slang where I should have had a professional tone (or vise versa)? Did I answer a question correctly? Or did I miss something?

Sometimes we're rejected for situations not to ponder, but for us to wait. We need to just "sat down" as the seasoned generation I've grown to know would say and wait on God. There's a certain patience that must be obtained and trust from God. Why is it that we can trust the mailman to deliver mail on time and correctly, we can trust our companies to deliver our paychecks on time and in order, but we can't or have trouble waiting on God and His time--which is the perfect time--for everything? What's our problem? Why do we, made in His likeness and image, have trouble with the one being that removes all trouble anyway? Yeah, it sounds backwards...maybe because it probably is.

This year for my birthday, I'll be another year older. I'm happier, wiser, and kinder than I've ever been. It's because of patience, new experiences and new growth. Thank you, God, for all you've done for me.
