I am reading Captivating by John & Stasi Eldridge(thank you Kiplyn for getting this book for me). This line speaks volumes to me right now. Much of what He allows in your life is not for you to simply accept, but to get you to rise up! I guess that since being laid off from Walmart all I have been able to do has been to stare at the closed door, the end of that chapter in my life. I don't remember what song this comes from, I really wish I could remember, but the line is this....Every beginning comes from some beginnings end. Meaning that because the beginning of the Walmart chapter has ended, there is some other beginning out there for me to find. But I have to stop looking at this beginnings end/closed door and expect for it to change. I need to turn away from that closed door and look for the opened door or window. Honestly, I don't know what that open door or window is right now. Yes, there are possiblities and maybe one of those is my open door. My Maker knows the open door He has for me and when I will find it. I just need to be a patient child and wait for Him to reveal my new direction.
This post was written late last summer. I am just now moving it from its original location.
