Night Light by Amy E. Dean

The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live.
-- Flora Whittemore


We often hear the phrase, "When one door shuts, another opens." It means everything has a beginning and an end. When our travels on one path are completed, another path lies ahead.

It's not easy to feel a door close. Relationships, friendships, careers, and lives end. Although we may not understand why a door closes, it's important to remember our Higher Power has everything to do with it. By the same token, we may not understand why certain doors open, revealing opportunities we may have longed for.

Again, our Higher Power feels we are ready to pursue that new experience.

The doors that open and close today help prepare us for our experiences tonight. The doors that open and close tonight will help us grow toward tomorrow. We are not mice in a maze, randomly pursuing paths for a reward of cheese. We are children of our Higher Power, guided towards our chosen goal through the many doors we open and close along the way.

Have I learned there is a reason for everything in my life? Can I trust that my path has been prepared for me by my Higher Power?



Hello Everyone!!!! Boy this is right on the mark, AGAIN!!!

I have been struggeling with my charrer choice for months now since I graduated in June. Circumstances have been less than perfect, to say the least. I have had to hold off on pursuing my career once already since then. But I was not quite sure if it was what my HP wanted. I lost enthusiasm for a while, I will admit. I ALMOST feel victim to my disease and gave up all hope.

However, taling to a friend of mine who is really struggeling lately, opened up my eyes again, to what faith can do. Her circumstances are very much harder than mine, and she is carrying the message of hope even in the midst of her adversity. My eyes were opened again to my blessings. I once again asked my HP to help me through this circumstance and prayed for the right doors to be opened if it was His will. And lo and behold, I got two job interviews.

I am again looking at the glass as half full, and even if I don't the these jobs, my answer to my prayer was given to me. I have no doubt what-so-ever that this is the field my HP wants me to pursue.

Now I alm praying for the strength and courage to carry out His will. I am going to "act as if" when I need to and I am going to have fatih that this will all work out for the good of my Higher Power and me. He only wants us to be happy, joyous and free!!!

Thanks for being here for me all of you out there. This is a big part of my recovery and a huge tool that I need to also incorporate back into my life.

Good bless you all and Peace.
