"Most victories show up first as temporary defeats." Napoleon Hill
This quote is a perfect fit for my life in the past six months. I have dealt with the unreality of loss and separation on all fronts. It 'appeared' that I was losing a job that I loved. It 'appeared' that the community was losing a needed outreach program. It 'appeared' that money was no longer a magical asset in my life. It 'appeared' that my job was my money source and not God. This list could go on for much longer but lets stop here.
It was all an 'appearance' as none of it was real. In the face of temporary defeat, my imagination spun a web of 'lies.' Times of temporary defeat are times of growth and learning. Defeat like life is always temporary if you look for the lessons and take heed. At that point, the miracles and coincidences begin to show up and you find yourself smiling and knowing that LIFE IS GOOD.
