Stoplights and Doors


Don't you just love that quote? This quote basically sums up my life right now. I am fighting off the fear of the unknown and trying to put my trust in the God I do know. 

Several years ago, I had a religious leader teach me about stoplights and personal revelation. He taught me that there are times when the Lord gives us a red light, telling us to stop and redirect. Other times he gives us green lights, telling us to charge forward. And sometimes the Lord gives us yellow lights. We talked about how usually at a yellow light you speed up so you can make it through that light, but that when the Lord gives us a yellow light it usually means to slow down, ponder, listen, and look around. This religious leader invited me to slow down, listen, and look for the doors that the Lord would be opening for me. 

I feel that same invitation again now in my life. I have no idea where it is going to lead, but I have a good feeling it's leading to greater happiness, understanding, and love.

Sending you love and encouragement to slow down, ponder, listen, and look on this beautiful Monday morning.

xoxo,
