I was checking in with an old friend this morning, when an image popped into my head:
Over the last few months, we've been unable to button up the real estate situation. Doors have been closing, closing, closing. Just closing.
Our response has been to keep seeking open doors, and to pray for a speedy, safe resolution to the situation. Of course, some days all I could pray for was to 'just make it stop' and leave it up to God to know what I meant by 'It'
Suddenly, stuff starts happening. Doors start opening in unexpected places. We all know the karmic pattern: a door has to close for another to open. Doors are just flying - I really can't keep up with the massive swirl of opportunities coming and going at home and at work. Life looks like one of those Scooby Doo chase scenes in the hallway of a haunted house, where we get to watch everyone run from room to room, doors opening and closing in a flurry. Which door opens next? what/who will come out of it?
The process of having opportunities come out of nowhere is unsettling. It just adds even MORE chaos to a chaotic time. But I can now ground myself a little more in what's happening. Silly as it is, the Scooby Doo imagery is rather comforting. The chase always ends; the bad guy always gets caught.
This, too, will end well. I can feel that way about it now. But it will end....how? That's what I don't know. God will show us.
Doors are going every which way!
