From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. - Psalm 61:2
God closes doors for reasons that are not always obvious to me. I trust in Him and know that things really do happen for a reason. I make the decision to move on and look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead.
I may be disappointed and discouraged, but I know that God is there with my every step of the way; through the good times and hard struggles. I'm reminded that this is not the end of my story, but rather just an end to a chapter in my book of life.
"To live your best life now, you must learn to trust God's timing, you may not think He's working, but you can be sure that right now, behind the scenes, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life." - Joel Osteen
You must realize that all of what you are saying above comes into your reality through the words spoken about you by others and the words spoken by you. The words you speak are the Jesus you love.
