Doors

I am always used to hearing how doors are slammed shut as people progress through various stages of their journey. When doors slam shut, it’s usually fairly obvious (hence the term “slammed”) that direction is no longer available.

In our journey to Haiti, doors seem to continue to be kicked open. It basically started with our house selling in five days. Then it was selling nearly everything we owned either on craigslist or in the garage sale – it basically all went in one weekend. And we had someone stop by during the garage sale saying they would take whatever we had left over for their sale to benefit the spreading of the gospel in Israel.

The latest is the dog. We had our neighbor stop with her daughter who works with someone that would like to have her. Then last night we had someone we had never met before from about a block away ring the doorbell to tell us about a friend of hers that would like the dog. Her friend told her that she had to come over last night to ask. Tina and I were just talking on Monday saying that it is about time we look to get rid of the dog.

I realize that it won’t always be this easy (can it get any easier?), but it is sure nice to know that God is opening doors in the direction that we are headed. Praise God!
