Fear does not get the last word in this life. Do you believe that? Pain, sadness and all the other emotions also do not get the last word.
Today I am starting to close my eyes on a dream. The realization that I am about to let go of something for which I have longed and worked. It should not be quite so painful, but it is. I am experiencing what it means to be humbled.
In an equal measure I see what it means to have a Father who works in our behalf. Who closes doors and opens them to orchestrate plans that are for our good. Things that I could not foresee, changes for which I was not prepared, He looked ahead in time and clearly slammed a door and opened another. It might be the first time in my life I have witnessed such a direct outcome.
Life is all about transitions. Today I am humbled. Today I am aching. Today I sit again in the waiting room to see what will be in store. I have my hankie in hand and a grateful heart for all the opened and closed doors of this life. It is nothing short of incredible the things I have been granted and the things from which I have been kept. It all ties into one winding and beautiful journey with all my steps leading home.
