Long time no see!

Well, it's been awhile since I've been on here. Alot has happened and I have been completely out of my game. I do believe I have finally begun to get back into the game tho! Since I last wrote the wedding has taken place (3 mos ago) and I am just now finding myself after it! What an experience! One day after I am fully recovered I will blog about it, but not right now. I just wanted to get back into blogging today and I have achieved my goal!
I have been thinking alot about "Opened Doors" this past week and thought I would put my thoughts down here before they scatter never to be remembered again!
We tend to get into the habit of thinking that the only opportunities that will come to us have to come through an open door. And that door has to be opened by someone else, or we have to be led to it. I am beginning to think I can open my own doors as long as I am asking for the direction of the Lord! I must be willing to do some footwork and allow God's directing hand to guide me, but it can and will be done if I exercise patience and perseverence! I hear so many people talk about those who have been given opportunities through their parents and through kin or people they know. We never stop to think, that yes maybe there are those who have been given great opportunity, but maybe their door was opened too soon because of that golden opportunity!
If God is leading your heart to feel a longing toward certain vocations or careers, or directions, then He alone is the very best OPEN DOOR you could ever ask for. If He is not opening it yet, then it is not your time. Wait for it! ha.. even after all this time ... still stuck on "waiting"! All good things come to those who wait! I still believe that. I don't believe that the opportunities I could have been given were I born to a different family, or had I followed other dreams earlier in life, would have been any better than the opportunities the Lord is leading me toward right now. Time will come that the doors He has opened for me, will be the greatest blessings I could have ever hoped or dreamed of. I am tired of "if only's" stopping people from realizing their hearts dream. If it is a dream born of God then it is a dream that He will open the door to! Just WAIT for it! amen and amen!
