I Have A Friend, A Pastor, Who Applied With Me And 419 Other People For 25 Seats On A Special Advisory Board. Though I Believed She Was Infinitely More Qualified Than Me, She Wasn't Selected And I Was. When I Saw Her At Her Church Weeks Later, I Asked Her How She Felt About The Decision. While Disappointment, Self-doubt And Defeat Would Have Been Normal Reactions To The Board's Decision, My Friend Said She Felt Great. 'how Come?' I Asked. She Said With A Smile, 'i Just Figured God Had Something Better In Store For Me.'
