I am so looking forward to the weekend! Today I am talking about timing. No, I don't mean how long you cook a roast in the oven. I'm talking timing as in God's timing.
We never know how our life is going to unfold. What is going to happen when and so on. Sometimes it's easy to get discouraged when you reach a point in your life when you thought things would be a certain way and they're not. For example, When I was younger (in High School) I thought for SURE that I would have it all figured out by now- Actually, I thought I had life in general figured out back then. How hilarious is that? I had it all planned: I was going to get married and have ALL of my kids by the time I was 28. Well, I'm 31 now and neither one of those things have happened. Thank God!
What I'm trying to say is that it can be difficult to remind ourselves that God is in control. Repeat after me: GOD. IS. IN. CONTROL. We have to be patient and trust in His timing- IN ALL THINGS. That's a lot harder than it sounds! Trust me! I am one of the most impatient people I know. I want everything like, 5 minutes ago. Haha! Maybe the "plan" you had for your life isn't working out, maybe, just maybe, that might not be what God has planned for you, right? Bottom line, things will work out in the end. Maybe the reason why you always fight with your boyfriend is because it isn't meant to be. Maybe the reason why you aren't happy at your job is because there is something better out there for you. Open your eyes and pay attention to new opportunities. Sure you will have times of doubt, sure you will get impatient. Try to remind yourself that God has this covered. When I am feeling discouraged I pray- something similar to this: "Lord, You know my heart. Thank You for blessing me and loving me. Thank You for my wonderful life. Give me patience and peace while I wait for Your plan to unfold. Give me the knowledge to choose the right path. Remind me to trust in You. Amen". Then I can go on about my life and stop obsessing over it. Try praying something like this next time you're feeling down, you will feel so much better after you do.
I hope you enjoyed this Faithful Friday! Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you back on Monday.
Until next time...
