It has been cool though to watch you hope in, as JP said, God's approval of something different for us. Hope. Without it, rejection would be more than just a bad stench. Rejection stinks.

Its "encouraging" to hear that even someone I respect as a church leader has difficulties. Makes me realize we're all in need of His grace on a continual basis. I dont know the circumstances around the "rejection", but realize not getting the "things" we want may not actually be a rejection, but it is God approving something different, we just don't see the whole picture yet. It may be time to surround yourself with some mentors, of which I know there are plenty in you neighborhood ;-).
