The last week + I have been a bit distracted because I was chasing one of my goals. We were trying to buy a small lake cabin for our family. I found a place and despite my best intentions, I fell in love with it. Lake property is very competitive here so I knew that the deal could fall apart at any moment. Needless to say, it did. A competitor came in at the last moment and their offer beat ours and they got the property. I am disappointed even though I know this is part of God's plan.
I see the beauty in disappointment though. Here is the why….it lets you know what you really want. If I had not cared when we lost the offer, I would have known that I did not really want the house. But because I am sad and disappointed, I know it is something I cared about.
Today I was working in my little storage shed (yes, it is a she-shed) and I started making a box of things to take to the lake cabin. Wait, you did not get the cabin, what are you thinking? I know this is something I want to achieve, so I am preparing for when it is time to do it. I am not going to give up, I am just going to wait for another opportunity to come our way.
Have a great week!
