From the Pen of Cheri Lynn Cowell

If you are like me, you've used various methods to make important decisions in life- prayer, signs, scripture, and the popular open and closed doors method.  These worked well for me for a while, yet I still found myself in that dark hallway-of-uncertainty lined with doors-of-opportunity and still asking, “God, which door do I choose?” 

The Six Questions
By learning how God communicates with us, you and I can learn how to choose the right door of opportunity.  By asking ourselves these six questions we will learn how God communicates with His children, and how to choose the God-given door that is His Way:

  • Is it aligned with the character of God?
  • Is there an obstacle or opposition?
  •  Is it God-sized?
  •  Is it requiring steps of faith?
  •  Is it stretching, growing, and strengthening me?
  •  Is it requiring me to adjust, prune, and re-align my life?

Join the Journey
I invite you to join me on this journey.  A journey that will take you from the fear and uncertainty you may have while standing in life’s hallway of uncertainty. You may be in this hallway by choice: you’ve graduated and now must enter the workforce, or you’ve become pregnant and now must make life-altering decisions.  Often however, we are in this hallway by no choice of our own.  We are there because of an illness or disease and the doors represent the many decisions we must make, or we’ve reached the milestone millions of parents long to reach every day—the empty nest—and those doors before us are the endless options waiting for our discovery.  Whatever life transition you find yourself in, this book will serve as a guide, giving you a tested method of choosing the door meant for you.

You Won't Be Alone
As you journey with me, you won’t be alone.  Each step of the way you will hear from others who’ve gone before us.  Others who’ve had to make tough choices, grapple with big decisions, and experienced the joy in knowing how God communicates with us.  Some of these men and women walked the same hallway you are in today but walked it hundreds of years before Christ was born.  Others walked the hallway with Christ himself, watching Him make decisions about which door to choose.  Still others are walking that lonely hallway with you right now, hoping that when you bump into them they can share the hope, encouragement, and joy they’ve found in discovering the key to unlocking the door of God-given opportunities.
