Rejection? or another way....

A disappointing evening.
Well, as far as evenings go, there was nothing terrible about it. Thing is...

I was waiting for two things tonite.
#1- To hear back from a soccer team I tried out for last night. (boy did I feel old!) I hadn't played for at least eight years, but gave it my best go on a Kelowna Women's Div 2 team that seemed to be really good. There were 12 of us who showed up for the try-outs; I was the oldest of the group (sheesh, I can't believe I'm saying that line!); and only 5 were to be chosen. Well, after giving my all, feeling the ache today, and wondering... I heard back tonite.
Sorry.
Oh, I'm okay with that really. There were three other teams who wanted to take me, without requiring me to "try out". But I had been most impressed by this team and coach (namely the fact that they held try-outs). So, I'll choose the next team on my list. I'm sure it's for the better anyway.

#2- We were waiting to hear back from Habitat for Humanity on a home we were "candidating" for. We had begun the process back in January, and were short-listed down to fourth interview, and one of three families. Tonite was their board's vote on which family. They would phone the "winners" tonite, and the other families would be notified tomorrow. Well, it's 10pm and no phone call. We didn't get chosen. We don't get to move into a larger home ... at this time.

I'm sure God has something better for us in store for the future, but for now... I'm disappointed. I didn't think I'd cry about these matters, but I just think I might now.

Lord, we trust you.
