Welcome!  This marks the very first "message" from me...

One thing that I have found to be true... whenever one door closes another one opens.  Take heart if the door has closed for you ~ for you will find another opening. 

Life is unpredictable... It's hard enough to see five minutes into the future, let alone what's going to happen in 5 years.  We can plan... we can work to make it happen, yet it just may not happen as we expect.  Some of my greatest growth has come when a door closed.  Yet, it was my choice to continue walking until I found the other door. 

If you are experiencing a trial or feel discouraged by your circumstances... look for a little hope... For HOPE makes us stronger even in the face of despair...
