One Door Closes, Another Opens

Well I finally got my notification from Hedgebrook.  I wasn't accepted.  Well, that's how the old ball bounces.  Am I upset? No.  Am I disappointed?  Yes, but not enough to beat myself up over it.  Everything happens for a reason, this I know.

I was invited to apply again in 2013 when they open registration to new residents (2012 will be dedicated to alumnae).  They were also kind enough to send me link for a few retreats I could take (that I didn't have to be accepted to).

What did I learn from this process?   Be thankful for everything and every opportunity.  Do my best no matter what.  My husband always asks me what I would do differently, if anything.  I don't know what I would do differently.  I think I did the best I could with what I had.

On another note: I have been invited to speak at three different events in 2012.  That's really exciting.

So why did I title this entry One Doors Closes, Another Opens?  I know God is still working in my life.  His plan is perfect.  (Even though I don't know what it may be.)
