Hello ,

Robert Pattinson has experienced a great deal of career success. High profile roles like Edward in the Twilight series, Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter series, and most recently Batman advanced his career. But these parts were interspersed with less acclaimed films. He has had good years and bad years. And in a world where culture is shifting on a daily basis, it is challenging to project what roles will be a success and what roles won't.

He knows that fame is fickle. And you are only as respected as your last role. Which makes your next role the most important. Sure, his career choices look wildly different from ours. But like you and I, a lot is left to the unknown, uncertain, and seeming to chance.

In a recent interview, Pattinson, opened up about career choices: “I don’t want to make a mistake on what to do next ... You just have to kind of think: "Well, my plan is maybe a miracle will happen and everything will be fine. Which is what I think everyone has been thinking for two years." 

He then concludes in an uncertain voice, "Just … Uhh, I guess the plan is to just hope?

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  Hebrews 11:1

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."         1 Peter 1:3

You and I have something greater than mere hope in the here and now, or near future. We have wonderful promises that were made to us by a God Who has our best interest in mind. 

May the thought that God has a plan for your life buoy your spirits today.

Have a great day and God bless!
