What do you do when God closes a door? Does it sadden you? Or do you look expectantly to the door about to open?
The past several weeks, I've been asking God to reveal what's next. Oh... He is closing doors here and there. He's opened a couple - not far yet, just enough to get a little peek. I can't wait to see what happens when the door opens all the way! What is it, God?
I can hardly wait! "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11). Oh, Lord, what are your plans? Can you open the door? Please?
In case you wonder... I'm not good at waiting for Christmas either!!!

would that not interfere with free will?
God cannot interfere without violating free will?
Ill never understand Christians logic.
God is not interfering with my free will. I have choices. I can chart my own course in life and end up where I think I want to be. OR I can CHOOSE to submit myself to God's will, or His plan, for my life and end up where He knows I should be.
Do I want a good life that I pick? OR am I willing to give God the green light to lead me to the best life that He wants to give me?
I have the freedom to choose the path I will take. I choose God's path. It never ceases to amaze me!
Sometimes we try really hard to want what we want, not what God wants for us. But God is our father and he makes sure those doors of what we want, at times, stay shut. We know where he wants us to go many times because the doors that go towards where he leads us are always open.
