Believe me, ...Letting go of dreams is so difficult. Believe me, I've been there! But "His mercies are new every morning" and "Great is His faithfulness". And there is truth in Maria's line in Sound of Music: "when the Lord closes a door, somewhere He opens a window." Sometimes it's even another door,not just a window--another opportunity equal or superior to the one we let go of. I've seen that happen in my own life when I've given up a dream that I thought couldn't be matched, but God provided another opportunity infinitely grander and more wise! His plans are ALWAYS best and we have to keep trusting Him with the pen of our story. Thanks for encouraging me as well by sharing the things you've found helpful in this period. It was a great reminder to me!<BR/>God bless all your plans and future dreams, and may He provide you with experiences in the future beyond your greatest expectations now. He is God!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15091980438930576876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855715845467660001.post-78675406413423140942008-10-19T11:47:00.000-05:002008-10-19T11:47:00.000-05:00I am so incredibly proud of you Molly.

That was a very hard dream to let go of; but without denying the pain, you are open to (your) plan B (although God never has a plan B for his beloved, only a plan A which is for Christs greater glory and our greater sanctification, even if it is often kept hidden from us, sometimes even until we see Him face to face in the new Heaven and the new earth)...and now if I could just start acting on what I say I believe!!<BR/><BR/>your papaMSTauteurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09474730538420995427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855715845467660001.post-1963262457838648252008-10-17T11:13:00.000-05:002008-10-17T11:13:00.000-05:00You will make it through, it will fly by believe m...You will make it through, it will fly by believe me! Just be thankful that you don't have to go to public school, I hated it and found it very hard to be joyful while I was there, but I got through it and it is done. Now I wish I was more of a witness to the people there, but now I am in College and I need to make opportunities to share my faith there. What are you going to college for? Do you have a college in mind?Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13757656602852760492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855715845467660001.post-60973836824231029692008-10-15T15:51:00.000-05:002008-10-15T15:51:00.000-05:00Hey Molly, First of all, I'm very proud of you for...Hey Molly, <BR/><BR/>First of all, I'm very proud of you for not just giving up and being frustrated with God. I know that when you're totally set on something and you make it your own plans, it would be easy to get upset at God for changing them. We must remember that no matter how hard we try, God's plans are God's plans. Quite frankly, I'm thrilled that this other option would be less stressful for you. <BR/><BR/>Keep sticking close to Him! <BR/><BR/>KristenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
