A few words of encouragment from Pastor Joel Osteen

Joel Osteen at Lakewood Church, Houston, TexasImage via Wikipedia
"Perhaps you have bigger things in your heart than your present environment can facilitate. That's why, at times, God will stir you out of a comfortable situation."
"When one door closes, if you keep the right attitude, God will open another door. But you have to do your part and keep pressing forward. Let your hurt go. You may not understand it, but trust God and move on with your life. Don't look at it as the end. Look at it as a new beginning, knowing this: God accepts you. God approves you. And He has something better in store."
"Throughout life, we're not always going to understand everything that happens along the way. But we've got to learn to trust God. We've got to believe that He has us in the palm of His hand, that He is leading and guiding us, the He always has our best interest at heart."- Joel Osteen

Now, I always like what Joel has to say. But I always take it with a grain of salt. Joel and his "prosperity Gospel" can be hard to take. But in the words above, I think he is right on.
