This is the first blog post I ever wrote. :) Hope you enjoy it.
God’s timing is perfect. Sometimes we might not think so, but it always is. It can be hard to wait- whether it is for a husband, a child, or anything else. We don’t like to be patient. We think we need it now, or at least in our own time frame. But the truth is, the world operates on God’s time frame. Which, by the way, is much better than anything we could come up with. Again and again he has demonstrated his perfect timing.

I was about 14 or 15 years old. I had very few friends, was rejected by kids at church because of my beliefs, and felt very alone. Then one day, almost out of thin air, God sent me a friend. She lived in a totally different state, but we became close friends through email. He actually provided me with 2 close friends- at the very time I needed it most. His perfect timing.
Sometimes I wonder where God is going to find a husband for me. Will he just pull one out of thin air? He could. He provided friends for me seemingly out of thin air. Why not a husband? This is the God who made the world in 6 days- out of thin air. He saved me through his grace and mercy. He planned out the salvation of the world. Do I really think he can’t plan out my very small life? I must trust him. Trust that his will, his plan, and his timing are perfect. Because they are.
And once I truly trust him, he will make things happen in his time. Even if he has to pull someone out of thin air.

Brooke, I really enjoyed your thoughts here. I agree that we need to wait on the Lord! God provided both my daughters (homeschooled from K-12) with wonderful Christian husbands. Both of my sons-in-law are preachers in the church. God is so gracious. We all prayed for such men for our girls. You continue to be patient and prepare for you future. Don't forget to be content in who you are now and be who you should be in whatever stage of life you're in. Keep up the good writing.
ReplyDeleteBoth my daughters are co-editors for a bimonthly devotional that goes out to ladies in the church. It's called "Beside Aquila". I'm glad to see them continue to be Godly minded even after they left home. Thanks again for your Godliness. ~Martha Stewart
Thank you for the comment and encouragement Miss Martha!! Contentment is so important, and perhaps a good topic for a future blog post. :)
