Preparations for the trip began months ago with prayers, letters, maps, reading, study, rearranging schedules and great anticipation. Then, the monkey wrenches started to be tossed into the plans. We can overcome that barrier, we can jump this hurdle, or so we thought. At some point came the realization that it just wasn't going to work out and the trip was cancelled, for now.
We all know what disappointment feels like when something we looked forward to just doesn't work out. So what is one to do about it? Accept and make the best of it. One thing I have learned in life is that God has a plan for us and all things work for God's purpose. Say, "Yes" to God and "No" to the temptation of having it my may, or thinking that we ultimately are in control.
Excellent post, something I have been practicing recently and has really helped me.
