What Is On The Other Side?

Do you ever feel as if  you are about to go through a new door in life and you are not sure what is on the other side?

I look at my life as a journey and I have gone through many doors. I will have to admit I am always a bit hesitant to fully open the door and go through to the other side.

Sometimes I only open the door just a bit so I can peek in to make sure it is safe . The only problem with doing this is if I do not open the door completely I will be stuck where I am.

When I change my focus from fear of the unknown, and put my focus on God and what he has for me, I willingly go through the door ready to experience what God has planned for me.

At this stage of my life I feel as if I am about to embark on yet again a new journey through a new door. I will admit I am a bit reluctant and my fears crop up from time to time, but I am willing to refocus and walk through to see where life’s journey is about to take me.

Each day is a gift, ready to be opened and experienced.

Going through the doors of life’s journey.

    Awesome post and you are so right about focusing on God. He will open doors for us that we didn't even know were there.
    Thanks and have a good week.

    Hi Kathysue! Wow. What a great nudge this is today. Or maybe as strong as a kick in the pants! Hanging out on the stoop waiting to go through the door, or perhaps procrastinating with one hand on the knob gets tiring. This post strikes a chord today. Than you. :)

    Hi Kathysue,
    Beautiful words to live by. Yes, there are many doors to walk through in our lives. I've walked through some good and some bad, but I always come out with new found knowledge.

    Which ever one you choose, I know it will be wonderful.

    hugs
    Sissie

    So pretty and words we should all keep near and dear to our heart. Doors open and close...in life, we have to know that when things dont' happen like we would like, another door will open with new beginnings down the road...I firmly believe that.

    Hi Kathysue, I always find when one door closes many others open. I thrive on adventure and the slight fear tingle so I love to jump through new doors. there's nothing more powerful than facing a fear. I have faith that all will work out fantastic for you!! If it's something that is daunting and scary and you don't want, know there's a reason for it that will show itself later on. Good luck with whatever is it is!

    Just remember if you don't care for what's behind one door or it doesn't work out, there will be another opportunity knocking, so just try and have some fun with the current experience!

    Great post, I want the specifics and all the best with whatever new doors you are walking through. Isn't it the only way to live a full life? But it can also be exhausting...:) Janell
