perfect timing

Day number 2-I'm on a roll :-)

All day, I have been thinking about what I was thankful for that I could write about today-which is my point. I want to focus about the good things rather than the bad. And a number of things came up for which I am thankful.

But what I am thankful for, that which I will write about today, is something that I am not always thankful for but should be. I am thankful for God's timing... or God's time. There are very many times that I get frustrated with His timing because things don't happen when I want them to (inner 5 year old, anyone?). But today I was infinitely thankful for it. Going into today, I thought that it would be one long crazy hectic day. I dreaded it because of this, and couldn't wait for it to be over. But my doctor's appointment did not take as long as I had anticipated which gave me time to go home and eat lunch. Excellent. Then I went to my lessons-we celebrated Halloween. Yay! I rushed to the Fishnet office to make the copies I needed for my class which was changed to today from yesterday. The copies were made so quickly I hardly believed I actually got them all-I thought for sure I missed something. And I was ready for my lesson 5 minutes early! When the first of my students arrived, he said that his colleague had an unexpected business trip, so he would not be in the lesson, and so he only wanted a half hour lesson, rather than the hour. This gave me time to get to my next lesson with plenty of time. It was wonderful the way everything worked out today. God's time and timing are perfect. And even though I complain about his time and timing too often, I'm also thankful for the reminder today of just how perfect God's plan is :-)
