Moral of the story: You have to get through the Wilderness before you can reach a “Promise Land”.   It could be a storm, desert, wilderness, and etc.  It’s not “fun”.  You sometimes think that “everything is against you”, “nothing goes your way”, “what’s the point anymore”, and etc.  There are always 2 sides to a desert…think about it.

I’ve shared on this site large bits and pieces of my story and journey of the past few years.  I’ve been applying for teaching jobs since the beginning of 2013 after a trip was abruptly shut closed in my face after a year plus of working to go on it has left me with a lifetime of experience and insight.  Door after door after door I knock hoping for a chance and they remained closed. 

Imagine 200+ doors all lined up in a giant hall that are all opened, but when you go by to see if you could come in they all close in your face.  No matter how well you prepare yourself with words or looks, they just shut you down.  Debilitating is a decent word that could be used to describe one’s feelings.  Insanity also comes up to the top of the vocabulary when doing something such as that.
