My sister sent me this photo of herself, and I couldn't help but comment on it. Sometimes I feel like I have my head stuck in a gate! she said. (Now we know it's true!)
The first thing my brother said was "That is typical of mom, leave the kid struggling so she can get the camera and get a shot in." I couldn't help but laugh. I remember how many times I've been stuck and waited around until help arrived. Not only in life but in my own struggles as well.
Even early in life we get ourselves into messes, and have no way out. So we think. The whole God closes a door but always opens a window applies here. I always wondered if Him opening that window, meant we were to fly away, or to struggle trying to get down the pipeline. Either way, there is a dramatic change that takes place when a window is opened for us.
Even a change in our line of thinking, will help us remember that if we straighten our head and back out, we will be able to get out of that gate. And usually when we are flailing about, we are too busy thinking forwards rather than backwards. Remember I said 10 failures per 1 success. 10 steps back, one forward. Pull your head back out of that gate, and then go on with life.
It's all about our perspective.
