Ahhhh........God's timing. It's perfect! We may not think so, but it really is. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God has a plan and a purpose for us. I have to be perfectly honest with you. This is something that I have struggled with like forever. And to be honest, it wasn't until recently that I realized if I don't allow God to work in my life as only HE can, I am only hurting myself. God has a way of preparing us for the task that he had planned for us before we were conceived. Adapting can be so hard though; well especially for me. I'm a "right now kinda chick," and having to wait...whew! I have been doing a James study by Beth Moore, and she along with the book of James pretty much kicked my patooty...if you will. Patience has beat me up and caused to to wait.....and believe! Waiting on the Lord brings special blessings and such peace. I can attest to that because I dated my now husband for four years and while I thought I was ready early on in the relationship, I knew I wasn't. It was just the idea of marriage. But when it happened, it was well worth the wait. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. My strength has truly been renewed....not only on that special day, but everyday!!! Wait on God's timing. Remember, you are unique and so different from any other woman God created. He has your life planned out to a tee!!!
Be Blessed!!!
So happy I'm a "James-girl" with you! And, yes, that book is kicking MY patooty too! Waiting - for a long while - on that "something" sure makes me realize how strong I am!! He is most def holding me up! xoxo
