Not BET's Sunday Best...

I stated on a facebook posting this week that when you are trying to reach your goals you may hear a thousand No's before you get that one Yes.  I have heard the word NO so much in my life that I am beginning to think that it is a part of  my legal name.

Just this past weekend I auditioned for BET's Sunday Best - a talent contest seeking undiscovered gospel artists.  It was a long and tedious process and long story short, I did not even make it past the first round of auditions.  I have to be honest and say that I was not extremely disappointed.  Sure, it would have been cool to have been a finalist but that was not what God had planned.  I give props where props are due and I have to say that there were so many talented singers in my group of 30 (yes, 30 people auditioned in one room with 30 seconds each to sing). 

Although this avenue did not work out for me that does not mean that I will throw in the towel and not pursue other avenues.  I may not have been their idea of Sunday Best, but I am God's idea of His Best!  I know my purpose in life and I will continue to give my all to reaching my goals...

If you are in pursuit of your dreams and doors keep getting slammed shut in your face, don't take that as a sign that you should give up, take it as a sign that you are on the right path.  If you remain steadfast and continue in hot pursuit, eventually the windows of Heaven will begin to open up and pour down so many blessings that you will not have room enough in which to receive it all - that means you have to pass on the blessings to others.  Keep fighting past all the challenges and one day you will get the YES that you have been searching for... Be Blessed...
