Thus the call to Paige.
A door closed three weeks ago. I'd taught voice and piano in the afternoons at a school for almost ten years.

But I knew it was time. Time to write. Time to pursue my hearts desire; to make a difference with words and music.
And today a window of opportunity opened. And since closed doors don't always lead to open windows in three weeks time, I'm grateful for the encouragement.
The sadness of last week dissipated into hope.
He turned my mourning into dancing. (Ps. 30: 11) Has He done that for you lately? Have you seen Him open a window when He allowed a door to close?
I found on Rest Ministries but your blog name drew me in. It is my life! Keep on Sister!
