It's About that Time

Sometimes time goes faster than we expect it to.  This past year has surprisingly, flown by.  While I feel like I've made a lot of personal growth, there is still plenty God is trying to teach me.  One of them is still trusting in his timing.  I can get so wrapped up in my own agenda and all the pointless things I think I need to do, that sometimes I forget to listen to what he wants me to do.

God gets peoples' attention in different ways.  This week I got sick.  Not so sick I needed to go to the doctor, but sick enough that I needed to take a couple days off to rest and get better.  All the things I was rushing around trying to accomplish or the things I thought were important, really weren't.  Not being able to find a good foundation?  Not important.  Getting caught up on tv shows?  Certainly not high on his list of priorities for me.  Now I'm forced to stay in and have plenty of time to listen to what he's saying.

I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and feeling overwhelmed at times.  I just need to take the time to remember - God's timing, not my own.  He will provide what I need when I need it as long as I trust in him.  His path for me is far greater than what I could ever map out.  This new fork in the road that I've been on for the past year has been incredibly tough, but it has strengthened me and changed me for the better.

I know I can count on him to continue to give me strength and get me through all those twist and turns, I just have to take the time to listen.  To slow down.  To pray.  To be patient.  To be still.

Because it is God's timing - not my own.
