When one window closes another door opens. How true that is. I found out the literal meaning of that just 3 weeks ago when my dad came over to help us take out a window and put in a new door leading straight out to our patio. Prior to this door being installed we had to walk out the east side of our house and walk around to the west side to get to our patio to enjoy an outdoor dinner, grill, the chaise lounge and even our fire pit. But now we can walk right out to it all. Such a life saver. We were very fortunate that the 36" window which came out had the perfect opening for the 36" door that would replace it. Only some minor adjustments to the header of the door (the wood that goes above the door to help strengthen the wall around it so the ceiling above does not collapse) and we were able to slide the new door right in. Slap some trim on and BAM! we have a nice new entry way, a new opportunity to enjoy the blessings.
Megan and I have been trying to add to our family for quite some time and have been unsuccessful thus far (you can pray for us). And while we are reminded each month that we are unsuccessful we try to keep our hope knowing that the Lord won't keep taking windows out without putting in a new door. I believe that. While things may seem rough the Lord will fill the void with a more glorious blessing. Thanks for reading and for praying.
Next time you want to knock a hole in something, give me a call!
