The door to Narnia

# Chapter 221

Almost six months after we moved into this house we found it. More precisely my wife found it. I mean we had been looking for it because every house has to have it, and the roof solar guys needed it and the electrician needed it and we as new home owners needed it. But after almost six months of living here and looking for it I was convinced that this was the only house in the whole world without an attic access. I mean I assumed someone had made a huge mistake when building the house and forgot to leave an attic access. Professionals were looking for it, friends looked for it, we looked for it, and never could we find an attic access.

There are only two bedrooms and a bath on the second floor of the house so it had to be here if it existed at all. But we had had no success in finding the attic access at all, until Sunday morning, Brenda was digging around on my side of the closet when she noticed a tiny latch on the side of the wall. When she pressed it, the wall of the closet fell away to reveal the attic! We have Narnia access in the back of our closet!! The latch and the wall are all painted the same color as the rest of the upstairs and so it is nearly invisible unless you know precisely where to look. And now that we do it seems obvious, but until Sunday morning, it was impossible to find.

It often takes a long time to find the right doors and the right keys to what you are searching for in your life. But don’t give up and don’t despair. Keep searching and continuing doing the things that will lead to success in your search.
