When Rejection Stings {Allume}

by Jacque Watkins

When Rejection Stings

The email came on a Friday afternoon–an email I’d been waiting on for over a month…

The email that would hold the answer to a dream I’d been nurturing for some time, and the answer would be a simple yes or no.

When I saw it arrive in my phone’s inbox, I halted mid-stride in front of the light-filled window. And plopping myself onto the couch in the middle of the room, I took a long deep breath and clicked it open.

And it didn’t take long for me to read the answer.

This time, the answer was no… [to be continued over at the Allume blog]

No’s are strangers to no one. 

And today I’m over at the Allume Blog, talking about certain moments in life we’ve all experienced…

When we get a “no” instead of a yes.

When rejection stings down into our deepest places,

And we wonder “Why me?”

I’d love to have you join our conversation over there…

 

What “no” have you experienced?

How did it change you?
