Do you believe that when door closes, another will open for you?

Oh for goodness sakes..I was born in Garden Grove, Orange County...LOL...Small world huh? Yes I'm a great believer in that idea when one door closes another opens. And yes, often times not always the way we had hoped for, but sometimes it actually turns out for the better than what we prayed or originally planned for, don't you think? Just a question though...did you ever try for Section 8 living?? My friend in Chico, Ca was able to reduce her rent tremendously through it so she practically pays for nothing as far as rent

You hang in there Hatley, things will get better.. I do believe God is watching over you and when he answers prayers, the answers are usually even better than you can imagine they would be.. I don't like change but sometimes change is good for us and things turn out for the better.. I am keeping you in my prayers and Never forget that when God closes a door, He opens a window.” If you always remember that and keep the faith, you will do fine.. Please keep us updated on how things go for you and just keep the faith, things will work out as long as you do.. Good luck to you and hang in there..

Yes I do Hatley, 100%. We may not realize it at the time but events in life will always cause us to rethink our current standing and will ultimately lead us on different paths. My own life has had many ups and downs and many different circumstances that have resulted in directions being taken that I would have never DREAMED possible. Life changing events force us out of our comfort zones and to think hard on why certain things happened and what we can do to rectify the situation. Those that do not try to recognize the triggers in their lives are doomed to repeat certain events over and over again unfortunately. AS they say, change is as good as a holiday. The key is to accept circumstances and never be afraid to step outside the box when we determine our next plans of action. The best thing about difficult circumstances is that we have the chance to reinvent ourselves and our mindsets. As I have already stated, we may not realize it at the time but there is a definite silver lining around a difficukt event such as the one you have shared. I wish you good luck with all you do Hatley and believe me; a time will be here before you know it where you will look back on today as nothing but a speedhump.

I do believe that God answers our prayers, but not always in the time frame we would like or in the ways we expected. If we're open, God's plan is always so much better than what we would have chosen. How wonderful that God has set you on course for a new adventure. Moving is never easy, but if you're going to be in a place where the cost of living is lower and there are more jobs, then that's a blessing.

I do believe to this, that when a door closes, another will open soon. As I have posted recently, I lose my second job, so when October came, I only have this regular job of mine that I receive a very low income. And that is almost not enough for the needs of my family, with the house rent, electricity bill, water and gasoline, etc. But I believe, sooner or later, another opportunity will come. It may not be for myself but it maybe for someone in the family, that will help me in the budget matters.

I'm not a very prayerful person but I do pray and I have experienced God answering my prayers a lot of times. I do believe He listens to us and yes, He answers prayers but not always the way we want it. Sometimes, makes me wonder why would God answer our differently. But I realized God's answers are always better than what I'm asking for. I always end grateful because He answered my prayers His way. And yes, when a door closes another door (or doors) will open for you.;D I do believe God has a reason for bringing you wherever you are now. I'm sure you'll have lots of friends there in no time. ;D

Well, when it comes to things in life, for anyone who is a True believer, and Prays, it is True that god will continue to open a door for you anytime you need it. It may not always be in the way you were expecting, but it is often where it is needed, and he never leaves you hanging as well. I am Glad that he opened the door for you in this way. Sounds like a great answer to Prayer for you both. Wishing you the best in this new adventure, and Please keep us updated as well.

Hi Hatley... I sure do believe in this saying. I'm relieved to hear that things are looking up for you and your son. Talk about swinging from rope to rope. To expand on my explanation, well... personally, I think that God answers our prayers based on what He thinks is best for us. It may not be exactly what we asked for but He will give whatever it is that we ask in due time. Yes, you'll be leaving Orange County but you'll be going to a new place. I'm pretty sure got has a purpose for doing that. I'm happy that your son has such good friends with good hearts.

Yes, I do agree when one door closes another one will be opened unto you. Also that our prayers can be answered even though they aren't answered in to the way that we would hope or have any idea of how they will be answered. God has the master plan and he always knows best.

Hello Hatley. I was surfing tonight on the site (I don't post much anymore) and came across this and I'm so glad I did! I'm happy for you. Truly. As my gran used to say "Every ending is a new beginning and every new beginning is full of new opportunities", and how right she was! And of course, she always swore that God told her that personally! LOL I think really she had enough life experience to believe that prayers are always answered - but often in the manner God knows is best for us, and then He leaves it up to us to do with His answer what we will - new opportunities and like that. So I'm glad you are open to this major change in your life, and you just never know what is 'beyond' that new door that has opened for you. So keep us up to date ok? Take care and the best of the best of luck to you sweetheart! Hugs.

Hi Hatley, How lovely of your sons friends to do this for you both, a new opportunity, fresh new, you can keep in contact with old friends and make new. Your prayers were indeed answered. We don't nescessarily get them answered in the way we want but in the way we need to be able to move forward and shut that door and open others. Good luck with the move, look upon it as a new adventure. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hello Hatley..I knew something would come to you..didn't know how but this is a wonderful surprise for you both and things will work out for the best now Huggs

Hi Hatley...I'm so pleased you have a solution to your situation I know it has been a big worry for you of late so I'm really pleased to hear your good news. I do belive there is always an answer to all our lifes problems we may not beable to see the wood for the trees sometimes but there is always a way it just needs to present its self. All the best and good luck, this news is so good to hear I was a little worried about you but now I know everything will be ok for you and your son.

The closed door always opens a different door. It's funny how we stress out over a current situation, but then it always works out! Nothing is ever the end of the world, so let's not stress so much!

Hi Hatley, I have always believed that when one door closes another opens, and I have proven it to be true many times in my life. There is a purpose behind what happens in our life, and although we may not understand it at the moment, all things really do work out for the best. There is a reason for everything that has been having to both you and your son over the past little while. I have no idea what it might be, but I feel certain that you will see it, perhaps much quicker than either of us realize. I ask only the best for you both. Blessings.

Oh Hatley! I am so happy for you! I know that you have been so worried! Yes God does work in mysterious ways that is what they say! There is a reason that this has happened and maybe your son will find a better job with better pay and maybe you will find this new place to be better with better friends and you will be happier and so will your son. He has some wonderful friends to do this for him. That is truly just so great to have friends like that to come to your aid when you really need help. I am so glad that you will have a chance to have a new home and a new life with your son and have new opportunites for him to find a job and maybe even a better one then before. I wish you and your son all the very best of everything. You know your mylot friends will always be here for you no matter where you are! Love & Hugz, Opal

I truly believe when one door closes another one opens. At times we think one thing is good for us but God has something better in store for us. There have been times when I was determined to do something or go somewhere and something would happen to where I couldn't do it or go. I would be upset and think that things weren't working out but then something better would happen for me. Although you will miss your friends maybe you will meet some new people who have a purpose in your life. You never know. Be blessed.

I believe that when one door closes,another will open,the precondition is that we don't give up.I n this society,there are lots of chances and opportunities ,they all depend on how we look at them.In a positive and energetic way and have right attitude,we will succeed.

yes, i believed that it is god's will and part of his works to provide you with a different challenge in life. one thing lead to another and they are somehow or rather related. you never know what will happen and whether this move will lead to something better if you do not try. in time of difficulties, we experience true friendships and assistance others have provided and to me these are strenghts other have given you and your family to move on to a new challenge. take the challenge with an open heart and the future should be brighter as there are many other things to look forward to. As you had said in your post, you have many mylot friends to accompany you. while we may not be with you physically or by your side, we are always here to share your joys and unhappiness and lend our ear and well wishes to you.

i onestly do, i really believe that when a door closes, another door with more opurtunities opens. I think that the saying "from bad things good things happen" is really true, well for me it is anyways, but i really wish ou all nthe best and i hope that a better door will open up for you.And your son's friends sponcering is a great idea! Hope everything works out for your family and you settle down again soon! ~Happy MyLotting~
