Handling Rejection

It’s me again – Liz Bryant. I’ve just been crying a lot lately. Life’s not hard. I was dealt a good hand. God said if I want to stay off alcohol and drugs I have to learn how to deal with rejection. I deal with a lot of rejection when I sell the paper. But remember what mother used to tell me: “anything worth trying is worth failing.”

One example is when I ask if someone wants to buy a paper and they don’t answer, but just walk by. It’s frustrating and hurtful. It doesn’t hurt anyone to speak. You can tell me no, just don’t leave me guessing.

God and holy spirit in Jesus’ name is teaching me patience. I have a choice: either I can get with the program, or not. Not all people reject me, some are really encouraging me, just like Street Sense (Bye for now!)
