This was to be no brave unseen step into an insecure future, a dark foyer. This threshhold now the result of divine careful planning, deliberate decision and very patient waiting. This foyer was a place of comfort and was very impressive. Previously the destiny now opening was unavailable, denied by the very throne of grace she so dearly loved.

There is a foyer to a desired good future that God places at the end of a road of great difficulty. This foyer is the destiny for the path of distress. It leads only to His good will. It is spacious, well appointed and screams 'very good rooms' are ready now.
Such a pleasing foyer is entered with faithfulness through moving to other side of pain - not fleeing it but feeling it.
As surely as dawn follows the dark, so will His easy foyer follow my hard times. Foyers introduce me to a new goodness for my life.
