The Open Door

Days turned into weeks, and God continued to bless our way. My husband found employment at a Christian college in the city. It was a blessing, yet new worries began to whisper in our ears. His salary was barely enough to cover the house rent, water, electricity, and daily needs. And soon, our three children would need to go back to school—they had stopped for a whole year because of our trials, and we longed to see them learn again.

But instead of letting anxiety take over, we chose to kneel and surrender those fears to God once more. We trusted that He who fed the birds would also take care of us.

Then, one day, the phone rang. An invitation came: they wanted my husband to be a guest preacher in one of the Churches of Christ in another city.

Our hearts paused. We looked at each other and hesitated. Are we really ready? we thought. Is it time to step back into ministry after everything we’ve been through?

After days of praying and thinking, I held my husband’s hand and said, "Let us accept this. Maybe this is the time God is opening the door for us. If this is His will, then let it be done. Do not refuse what the Lord is offering."

We took a step of faith, ready to serve again, believing that God knows exactly what we need.
