Closing Doors, you ask? That’s right. Zatvaranje vrata, vas pitati? To je pravo. They’re the ones where you almost lose your nose. Oni su oni kojima se gotovo izgubite nos. In fact, some of these doors have been open before you for a long time and you’re accustomed to walking through them. U stvari, neke od tih vrata su otvoreni prije nego što je dugo vremena i da ste navikli na šetnju kroz njih. Then, all of a sudden it happens. Zatim, sve to iznenada dogodi. You are walking along, not paying much attention and there it is in front of you. Vi se kreću zajedno, a ne plaćati mnogo pozornosti i ondje se pred vama. Not only is it closed, but it is also locked. Ne samo da je zatvoreno, ali je zaključano. What are these? Što je to?

Maybe a friendship you’ve had for a long time suddenly falls apart. Možda prijateljstvo koje ste imali za dugo vremena iznenada padne na mrtvo ime. Maybe it is a job you’ve had for a long time and all of a sudden the boss says there is no more work. Možda je to posao koji ste imali za dugo i sve nagli šef kaže da nema više posla. Whatever it is, its time has come and you can’t go that way anymore. Što je to, to vrijeme je došao i ne možete ići na taj način više. What do you do now? Što učiniti sada?

First of all, take a breather and catch your breath. Prije svega, uzmi predah i uhvatiti dah. Get off to the side of the road and observe. Pusti na stranu ceste i promatrati. Ask the Lord about this situation. Pitaj Gospodina o tom slučaju. Was it something someone did to you or was it something you did that was the cause? Je li to nešto netko učinio za vas ili je to nešto što si učinio je to uzrok? Does it really matter? Da li je stvarno stvar? Can it be fixed? Mogu biti fiksne? If it can’t, or at least not right now, stop. Ako to nije moguće, ili barem ne odmah, zaustavite. You could be at a crossroads. Moglo bi biti na raskrižju. If so, the next turn you make is very important. Ako je tako, pored skrenuti vam napraviti je vrlo važno. The Lord doesn’t close a door without opening another one. Gospodin ne zatvori vrata bez otvaranja još jednu. Listen closely. Poslušajte blisko.

Times and seasons come and go. Doba i doba doći i otići. The clothes you wear in during the winter won’t work in the summer. U odjeću koju nositi u zimi neće raditi u ljeto. It is the same for situations and circumstances and sometimes even for friendships. To je isto za situacije i okolnosti, a ponekad čak i za prijateljstva. Some relationships will only get in the way in the season ahead and possibly even cause a shipwreck. Neki će se odnosi samo na putu u sezoni naprijed i možda čak i izazvati brodolom. Father knows and He cares. Otac zna i On je stalo. It is His plan and destiny for your life that will prevail, if you allow it. To je njegov plan i sudbinu za svoj život da će prevladati, ako to dopušta. There will be more friends, just a different time and place. Tu će biti više prijatelja, samo različite vrijeme i mjesto. There will be new things to learn and new things to see and experience. Izradit će se nove stvari za naučiti nove stvari i vidjeti i doživjeti. Life must go on. Život mora ići dalje. It must mature. Mora zrele. It must complete its journey. Ona moraju dovršiti svoj put. Embrace the new. Zagrljaju nove. Take on the challenge. Krenite na izazov. Let go of the past and watch it all form before you. Neka ide u prošlosti i gledati sve to prije nego što obliku.

Dreams! Snovi! The greatness of a dream is what spurs us on. U velikom snu je ono što Ostruge nas. It also leads us through the greatest of trials. Također nas vodi kroz najveći suđenja. The dreams we see often look nothing like the path we are on. U snovima mi ništa ne vidi često izgledaju kao da su na putu. But still , we are compelled to go on. Ali ipak, mi smo primoran da ide dalje. What is around the next corner? Što je oko sljedećeg ugla? Who do we get to meet tomorrow? Koga smo dobili u susret sutra? Dare to dream and then dream again. Usuditi da san i onda san ponovno. Reality must give way to the dream. Reality mora dati do san. Don’t give up your dream. Ne daj se vaš san.

Just in case you don’t believe this thing about reality, remember the dream of the Wright brothers. Samo u slučaju da ne vjerujete da ovo o stvarnosti, sjeti san u Wright brothers. The reality was that man could not fly. U stvarnosti je bio čovjek koji nije mogao letjeti. The dream was to soar above the clouds. San je bio da se vinuti iznad oblaka. The reality changed and gave way to the dream. U stvarnosti promjena i dao do san.

Are you back in the same place you said you would never revisit? Jeste li natrag na istom mjestu ti rekao da ti nikada ne ponovo? Huh? Ha? Sounds like you made a judgment. Zvuči kao da su presudom. Been there and done that many times before too. Bio tamo i da je učinio mnogo puta prije nego previše. A word of advice, learn the lesson and let go of the judgment or you are destined to return. A riječ savjeta, naučiti lekciju i neka ide za sud ili ste predodređen za povratak. Life is tooooooooooo short to live in bitterness, unforgiveness, and judgment. Život je tooooooooooo kratko živjeti u gorčina, unforgiveness, i sud. The only person you hurt besides yourself is your family and friends, the ones you love. Jedina osoba koju ozlijeđen osim sebe je vaše obitelji i prijatelja, one koje ljubim. Most of the time, the culprits don’t even know or care, yet you are wasting all of this energy for nothing. Najveći dio vremena, krivce ni ne znaju ili briga, ali vam se troši sve ove energije za ništa. Forgive and move on with your life. Oprostiti i nastaviti sa svojim životom. That is the best thing you can do. To je najbolja stvar koju možete učiniti. If you can’t forgive, ask Father to forgive them through you. Ako ne mogu oprostiti, zamolite Oca da oprosti im preko vas. He will. On će. He is faithful. On je vjeran. Forgiveness opens the way for the Lord to bless you. Praštanje otvara put Gospodinu kako bi vas blagoslivljem. You actually open a door so goodness can come into your life. Vi zapravo otvorili vrata tako da dobrota može ući u vaš život. Those other things close you in and lock you up, keeping all the blessings from getting to you. Te druge stvari zatvoriti i zaključati u koju ste se, imajući sve blagodati od dobivanja na vas. So let go and live. Pa neka idu i živjeti. Pick up the pieces and let them be mended again and go on. Javi se na komade i neka budu opet popravljen i idite na. It’s not easy, however it is worth it. Nije lako, ali vrijedi ga. I know, I’ve been there. Znam, bio sam tamo. Come on, take my hand, you are not alone. Hajde, uzmi moje ruke, niste jedini.

Look at the sunsets and sunrises. Pogledajte zalasci sunca i sunrises. Look at the clouds, the birds, the animals and the trees. Potražite na oblake, ptice, životinje i stabla. Look at the mountains if you can and the water. Pogledajte gore ako može i vodu. Soak up the presence of the Lord and His majesty. Upiti prisutnosti Gospodina i njegova veličanstva. Take a plane trip and look down on your troubles. Uzmi putovanje avionom i oboriti pogled na vaše nevolje. See them float away. Pogledajte ih otploviti. Tomorrow is a brand new day and the day after that and the day after that. Sutra je nov dan i dan nakon toga, a dan nakon toga. Every day takes you further away from that day of distress and gets you closer to a better time. Svaki dan idete dalje od toga dana u nevolji i dobiva li bliže bolje vrijeme. Buy a camera and take pictures of things that give you joy and then print them out and put them on your walls or somewhere you can see them. Kupi fotoaparat i fotografirati stvari koje vam dati radost, a zatim ih ispisati i staviti ih na vaše zidove ili negdje ih možete vidjeti.

Listen to the birds and hear their song. Poslušajte ptice i čuti njihova pjesma. Listen to the breeze blowing through the trees. Poslušajte povjetarac puše kroz drveće. Listen to the water in a brook or waterfall. Poslušajte vode u potoku ili vodopad. Listen to the awesomeness of God’s creation and you will hear His voice and find His peace. Poslušajte na awesomeness Božje stvorenje i da ćete čuti njegov glas i naći Njegov mir. Have a wonderful day. Želimo Vam prekrasan dan.

Bless you, Blagosloviti,

Joseph Josip
