Timing

Or, more specifically, God’s timing. The story of us is a story of how God’s timing is perfect, how God took us at the right time when we were at the right place and brought us together. Our marriage is a good example where it’s obvious (at least to us!) that God’s perfect timing is a part of God’s plan that is to our good. But recently we’ve seen a number of events in the lives of our friends where it’s harder to see that God’s timing is to our good – losing jobs, losing love ones, at times that don’t fit into our plans.

While we are fortunate not to have to directly deal with issues as rough as these, circumstances have made it such that we will have to delay our plans to move from our condo into a house this year. It’s always hard when you have plans, when you want things to happen to a certain timetable, when you want one thing to happen before something else, and those plans turn out not to be God’s plans. But in this case, God has given Liv and I wisdom to see that waiting a year to move is the best move for us. God’s timing doesn't always agree with our plans, but it’s for our good – and as the entrance song to our wedding reception says, “I know that God, my God, God is good.”
