But it is SOOOOO much easier (and less stressful) when God opens the window first, THEN closes the door. Of course, a window just opened in my life, so now I'm curious what door is getting ready to close. At least I'm pretty sure it is coming, so I shouldn't get slammed in the face. That really hurts!
