Summary
I was thinking about how much rejection can sting - and how there have been so many things I've wanted in the past that haven't worked out. But, now, when I see the overarching picture of my life, it makes so much sense why that had to happen to create space for something new. I share three stories of major rejection from my own life, and I think these stories illustrate how it should feel/shouldn't feel if something IS MEANT FOR YOU. I hope this provides some faith!
