When God Closes Doors...

First...let me thank you all so much for your support and kind comments on yesterday’s post. It took me a lot of introspection and a lot of prayer to come to the realization that I needed to make a change in my writing schedule. The message I kept getting from God was “It’s time.” I’m the one that kept dragging my feet and trying to argue with Him. 

I’m not one to really care about the numbers of followers on my blog, but it is an indicator of “how I’m doing” as far as hitting the ball out of the park. For the last year, my numbers have been flat which means as many people left as joined and that had never happened before. I know the content of the blog shifted a lot, but I still don’t think it was the entire story. The flat numbers was my first indicator that God was trying to tell me something.

As I began to entertain the thought of change, God kept sending more and more validation that I was on the right path. Other opportunities continued to come up and I just couldn’t avoid it anymore. Then, to absolutely bring the point home....something really fun just landed in my lap yesterday. I’ll tell you more about it in a few weeks, but it was just such a blatant God wink that I literally laughed out loud and clapped my hands when I got out of the meeting.

I’ll still be posting daily till the New Year. And, even after that, I’ll post encouragement frequently. Just shorter posts. These long posts can take three hours or more to write. I’m really torn...because I want to be here for you and I love being here for you...and for me.

They say when one door closes, another opens. It doesn’t always happen so fast that it can’t be missed. Sometimes we have to wait and wait and wait. This is where Faith comes in...when we have to trust in God’s timing and not our own. I don’t claim to understand how it all works but, gosh...it really feels good when God winks at you.

❤️
