Circumstances.....

I have heard over and over in my life that when one door closes another one opens..... I heard it so much growing up that I almost hated hearing it. I always wondered why I couldn't find the other door.

As I have grown in the Lord I have found that often God shuts, or in some cases slams the door and barely cracks the other one. I think HE sometimes is asking me to still open the door and walk through without knowing what is on the other side. Not as a test but as "trust".

I can look back on my life and see how this has happened over and over in my life. I don't always see it that way in the moment, but it is amazing how subtle God is. I too often am looking for the big sign and miss all the little one's.

I am becoming better at seeking God in decisions as I grow with JESUS. I am finding it easier to make some decisions, that is easier to know what decision to make. It still is sometimes difficult to go through with the decision. I still find times that I think God has put me in a position for a reason and it doesn't turn out the way I thought it would and I sometimes can't see it when I'm in the moment. I mean it sometimes takes awhile for me to reflect without my own agenda and see what God was doing....

I find it easier to find God in the big decision than in the little one's. It is nice to do whatever I can and give it to God and know that if it is where God wants me then that is where I'll be. I know that if I pray over it and do what God has given me to do, that it can't come out wrong when it comes to HIS kingdom. I must trust that HE knows far better than I...

God continue to search my wants and desires. Continue to push into my life. Continue to love me even when I'm trying to force my own agenda. God thanks for putting me in positions to glorify you and I pray that I hit more times than I miss. I pray that I continue to improve in glorifying YOU. Amen.
