This is a super tough topic for most people. In today's society we are so used to instant gratification. And this is an area that God is teaching me to have peace in.
One area that I struggle with for God's timing is: MISSIONS.
I have had such a huge heart for it for a long time now and I have struggled with not understanding his timing. At first when AJ and I were finally on the same page I thought we would be going really quick. But it has turned out to be a much longer process then I ever imagined. And I was pretty upset with that. But God has really been showing me that we have not left yet because I (yes me!) am not ready to go. OUCH that was a tough one to hear!! But once I accepted it and saw the truth in it I have to say that I agree 100% with him. For us to go and have his kingdom expanded it needs to happen in HIS time. So until then I am working on myself. I am working on deepening my relationship with him! I have wanted to go deeper for a long time now but never made the attempt and do it. Now I am. And it feels SO GOOD!! The great thing is now that I am at a spot where I know we WILL go....it will just be in HIS timing. And that feels good and peaceful. That is a good place to be in.
Can I get a AMEN for that!

His timing is SO tough to wait for sometimes but completely worth the wait! keep pressing into Him and peace will be abundant...i can relate to this same lesson!
I am so impatient that this is really a tough lesson for me. But you are so right! Everything happens on His timetable.
You know how long I waited for healing to "start" in my family? 20 years. God promised COMPLETE and full healing and you and AJ were there when it happened, but I waited and prayed for 20 years. Previous to that Mom prayed for me for a GOOD 20+ years. Sometimes we take a while to hear what he is truly saying to us, then the LESSONS actually start WITH HIM. I love you tons!
I know how you feel about God's timing! I'm working on that too.
