A few weeks ago, the potential for a great opportunity, one that seemed practically perfect in every way (yep, just like Mary Poppins), presented itself to us. I hoped it would happen, I envisioned it happening, I prayed it would happen. We found out last week that it's not going to happen.
Having faith that there's a reason this opportunity passed us by doesn't mean that there's not disappointment. But in practicing my one little word, trying to pick up my spirits and move past my sadness, I was reminded of other prayers in my life that have gone unanswered. If any of them had been granted, I wouldn't be with my husband right now; for that reason alone, I'm glad they were never answered.
And for all I know, at some point in the future, I may feel grateful that this prayer has gone unanswered, too.

That just because He doesn't answer doesn't mean He don't care
Some of G-d's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers"

Because the eye roll Hubby will give me for including such a cliche on my blog post isn't enough, I must also include the video. *evil cackle*

I hate not getting what I want (or think I want) at the time, but always find the "reason" in things down the road. Very mature, lady!
Sorry to hear that whatever it was didn't work out, but you have a fantastic attitude. Two enthuastic thumbs up! *hugs*
