Rejection
"For the LORD will not reject his people; he will never forsake his inheritance." Psalm 94:14 (NIV) 
Have you ever wanted something so bad and had to wait and wait only not to get that thing you wanted most? Yep Me too!
How about been friends with someone, or thought you were and they turned around and didn't invite you to thier big party? Been there! Felt that rejection! It stinks!
Rejection stinks.
I mean it really stinks.
It makes you want to hide and never come out, or maybe if your anything like I am it makes you want to run away to a place all alone and cry.
Guess what we God Girls have a beautiful promise we can hold on to that lets us smile even when the tears are flowing. Even when we feel we are all alone and no one can even begin to understand the way we feel. There is someone who does: JESUS! He was rejected, perfect and blameless and yet he was still treated as though He was the lowliest criminal. He did this for you! Yes you! He chose you, created you, loves you!
Psalm 139:13-14 (New Living Translation)
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
This is so Amazing, to think that God, created you (and me), before we were even born! Knit me together in my momma's belly..... He picked you! Chose you! Created you! Loves you!
He dosen't reject you, like so many people or things in this world do! He loves you!
He is our hope.
He is that beautiful reminder that rejection from man never means rejection from God. And I have learned in my life that the rejection from man couldn't even compare to the eternal reward from God!
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (New Living Translation)
11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
So remember that even though we don't know what tomorrow holds, we can know that we have a God who loves us, a God who chose us!
Have a Beautiful Day! Know you are Loved, Thought of, & Prayed for!
Love Ya

Sparky: The Loser
Once upon a time, there was a little boy the other children called “Sparky,” after a comic strip horse named Sparkplug. Even though the boy hated the nickname, he could never shake it.
School was difficult for Sparky. He failed every subject in the 8th grade. He flunked physics in high school. In fact, he still holds the school record for being the worst physics students in the school’s history. He also flunked Latin, algebra, and English. He didn’t do much better in sports. He made the school’s golf team, but his poor play ended up costing his team the championship.
Throughout his youth, Sparky was a loser socially. Not that he was actively disliked by other kids—it’s just that nobody paid much attention to him. He was astonished if a classmate even said hello outside of school. He never dated or even asked a girl out. He was afraid of being turned down. Sparky didn’t let being a loser bother him that much; he just decided to make it through life the best he could and not worry about what other people thought of him.
Sparky did, however, have a hobby. He loved cartoons, and he liked drawing his own cartoons. No one else thought they were any good, however. When he was a senior, he submitted some cartoons to the school yearbook and they were rejected. Sparky kept drawing anyway.
Sparky dreamed about being an artist for Walt Disney. After graduating from high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios inquiring about job opportunities. He received a form letter requesting samples of his artwork. The form letter asked him to draw a funny cartoon of “a man repairing a clock by shoveling the springs and gears back inside it.”
Sparky drew the cartoon and mailed it off with some of his other work to Disney Studios. He waited and waited for a reply. Finally the reply came—another form letter telling him that there was no job for him.
Sparky was disappointed but not surprised. He had always been a loser, and this was just one more loss. In a weird way, he thought, his life was kind of funny. He tried telling his own life story in cartoons—a childhood full of the misadventures of a little boy loser, a chronic underachiever. This cartoon character has now become known by the whole world. The boy who failed the 8th grade, the young artist whose work was rejected not only by Walt Disney Studios but by his own high school yearbook, was Charles Monroe “Sparky” Shultz—creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip and the little boy loser whose kite never flies: Charlie Brown.
How many of you can identify with Charles Shultz in some way? Maybe in different areas of your life you feel like a Sparky. How about when it comes to being a Christian? It’s very hard to be a Christian. 70% of everyone around you in all areas of your life doesn’t believe in having the same commitment as you. Then of that 30% that is left calls themselves a Christian but doesn’t like to show it all the time or only picks when they want to show it.
The problem is that we spend too much time watching other people and worrying about what they are doing and not enough time taking care of what we should be doing. We spend a lot of time pointing out that nobody else is doing what they should be doing, and not enough making sure that we continue living the life God has called us to. .
Let’s read what Paul has to say about that in
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (The Message)
24-25You've all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally. 26-27I don't know about you, but I'm running hard for the finish line. I'm giving it everything I've got. No sloppy living for me! I'm staying alert and in top condition. I'm not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.
So will you run to win?
