I cannot expect God to open a new window of opportunity as long as the winds of resentment, anger or disappointment are howling about my spirit. No, God will wait patiently for calm to enter my mind before He whispers gently His plan for my life.  Perhaps it will be entirely new marching orders, perhaps only a bit of a course correction.  Only when my mind and spirit are quiet, will I hear His still small voice....and only then will He open the window and bring order to my life.
