God’s Timing

I feel as a Christian I can question God’s Timing.  Basically, I am actually questioning why GOD is not making things happen when I want them to happen.  I want it more out of convenience.  I treat prayer request like ordering a pizza.  I expect it to happen in 30 minutes or less.  Maybe not that strict.

Basically, though it is like sometimes I start a timer expecting GOD to do something AMAZING in my life before the time starts ringing.  I have to remember that GOD’s timing is PERFECT. Especially when it is revealed.

Sometimes GOD reveals something I did not know I was really looking for.  About 16 years ago after becoming a Christian, I had a neighbor that I tried inviting out to church.  He said No thanks.  But he also mentioned that his sister goes to one of our sister churches in North Carolina.  I heard him say her name was Kay.

So every time I met someone from that church I asked them if they knew Kay.  They always said no.  Well then about 10 years ago a sister in the Nashville church moved here.  Her name was Faydra.  I found out that she use to be in the North Carolina church.  So I asked her if she knew Kay and she said no.

Well, I and Faydra became very good friends.  One day she invited me over to her house.  I was taking pictures of her dog for Christmas cards.  I started looking at pictures on the wall.  Without thinking I said “Oh how do you know Teddie”  She looked at me crazy and said “He is my brother, how do you know Teddie”  I told her he was once my neighbor.

She mentioned her family called her Fay.  At that moment I realized that all this time I was looking for Kay and actually it was Fay.  Faydra was actually the sister I had been searching for.  But that is GOD’s timing.  If I would have met Faydra and realized she was my neighbor’s sister I don’t think we would have had a deep friendship.  Because honestly, I was looking for “Kay” just so I could say I knew her brother.  But instead, I met Faydre built a friendship and then realized there was another common bond.

GOD is Awesome.  His timing is perfect!!!
