God's Timing Is PERFECT!

God and His Timing

Oh how much we need to learn about God's timing in our lives! This is something that He is teaching us in ways we would rather not experience, but yet we know that there is no better thing than the perfect plan of God. In life there are so many things that we have to wait on: our favorite T.V. series to start, our dinner to be done, our spouse getting dressed, our test results to come back, and so on. Although most of those are very minor in comparison to other things we wait for. It is mind blowing to think of the fact that our God is Sovereign, and when we wait on Him there will be a wonderful result.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 ^" He has made everything beautiful in its time."
Isaiah 40:31 "they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings ^like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

What God has us Waiting on Currently:

• God has Alton and I waiting on Him in many areas of our life. The biggest one that comes to mind while writing this is Alton's job situation. It is no news to many of you that Alton has been working out of town for the last several months. He is usually gone Monday-Thursday, and sometimes it's Monday-Saturday. This job HAS been a tremendous blessing however, because it is well paying, and has allowed for us to buy the things we need to settle into life here in NC. However, with a baby coming next month we are VERY anxious for him to find a job closer to home. We have been looking for a while now, and nothing has yet to open up. Please pray with us concerning this! We may think that now is the perfect time for another job to open up, but God may have something else in mind. 
• With the crazy schedule/location of Alton's job we have also not been able to get involved in churches in our area like we had hoped. Our goal is still to go to the New Tribes Missionary Training Center in Missouri this coming August. As we mentioned before, we are looking to be better supported financially for this to happen. We are really hoping that God's timing for us to go would be this August, but we don't know what He has in store. Please be praying with us concerning our support, and timing in going to MTC (missionary training center). 
• Last but not least, we are waiting on this little baby girl to arrive!! :) 9 months feels like an eternity on some days, and on others it feels like a blink of an eye. We have already been blessed with a wonderful baby shower recently, and one more will be taking place this weekend. God is certainly teaching me (Grace) patience through this pregnancy as there are many things I am waiting for. There are so many things that you need when having a baby, and I have been learning patience in waiting for the right time to get those things. November 21st is right around the corner, and I just KNOW that God will provide me with everything I need to be a mother! 

What About You?

I am sure we are not the only ones that God is teaching patience, and timing to! I hope that you are learning things about waiting on the Lord, because we certainly are. There is so much joy in waiting when you know that you have a God who wants nothing more than to bless your life! Keep that in mind friends, and we will do the same! 

Thank you for praying! 

Please feel free to let us know what we can be praying with you about! 

Because He said, "Go!"
