Rejection or Redirection?
In my almost 59 years, I have struggled with rejection more times than I care to remember. Rejection of people, ideas, relationships, financial matters and more. As my faith has grown, so has my understanding that these "rejections" are really "redirections" for a better life - if I listen and follow the leading.
When I look back, one example is a property I almost purchased literally days before the pandemic stopped travel around the world. It was something I desperately wanted and felt was in alignment for me. I was crushed but I had to walk away for a variety of reasons. In reality, the world being shut down with this property in my possession would have decimated my finances, probably to a point of bankruptcy. A redirection of God-ly proportions.
Are you "forcing" something that in reality, isn't right. Maybe you are "tolerating" something when it's a nudge for redirection. Are you actually being protected when you feel like you're being punished? How can you re-frame the "rejection" into "redirection"?
When you have big dreams, you cannot keep fighting for the smaller ones to stay. Get quiet. Listen. Pray. And allow the exploration of redirection.
I'm still able to travel to Scotland and visit the island and people I love there. The redirection actually allowed for better circumstances in the long run and in fact, I get to take my husband there this Fall. Is it my dream flat I fell in love with? No, but it is the same magical Millport that changed my life.
