On Being Stuck in the Hallway
I got to tell a couple of stories in church the other day-one to a large room full of people, and one to a smaller room full of people. One was about my favorite childhood author, C.S. Lewis.
Both stories were about being stuck in the hallway…..
A year ago, I found myself in yet another “hallway”.
A dream that I had dreamed and prayed about for many years, was clearly NOT going to come true. It looked, at first glance, like I was finished; like maybe I had misunderstood what I thought God was calling me to do. I was devastated, confused, extremely sad and disappointed.
This has happened before…..
But God wasn’t finished with me- not by a longshot.
I didn’t have much, but I did have Jesus, and I clung onto Him like a drowning person clings on to a life raft.
