True story. I waited nearly six months to get a position at this particular company, which would have been considered a promotion. After interviewing, getting the offer, and receiving a pay increase, they rescinded the offer because they switched the training to in person and my travel time was two hours away.
Talk about being disappointed, I was distraught and nobody at the company apparently understood why. I was denied time off and basically told to just continue in my current position and act as if nothing happened. I went through so many emotions. I just thank God that it happened on a Friday so that I could at least have some time to myself to digest everything.
It is so easy to just say, “I’m not going to hope anymore”, in order to avoid being let down but that’s not reality. Not only am I a creative but I’m a Christian and my faith is grounded in hope. Perhaps that position was never for me, and I just wanted to get out of my current job which is quite stressful.
If I’m being honest, I’m still trying to figure this thing out. The Bible app scripture for today is Joel 2:12-13 and it says, “Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.” After reading this, I’ve decided to go on a three day fast with only fruits and vegetables. I’m at a crossroad and I’m going to the only help that I know.
I’ve also signed up for therapy, which I haven’t done since my divorce. This time I’m doing it for me. I’m nervous about sharing the most intimate parts of myself with a stranger. I know they’re not there to judge but more so for guidance and to just listen, but I’m still apprehensive.
If you’re dealing with extreme disappointment, don’t be afraid to go to God or get therapy. In my case, I’m doing both. I hope that you know that you’re not alone.
Thanks again for reading.
