God's Timing

God's timing is something you can never fully understand. Sometimes its the other people in your life that don't understand. But one thing is true; God's timing is always right. Whether you or others think otherwise. Here's an example. Last Thursday Jesse and I were driving to the church when we spotted a sign at the apartments that there was a two bedroom available. We decided to check it out. As soon as we entered the office, the manager immediately handed us applications. Then she grabbed her keys to show us the place. I was not expecting to see it at all. In fact, I didn't know what to expect. I have never done anything like this before. We looked around and were happy with what we saw. We left to go to worship team practice. We filled out the applications not knowing whether or not we were going to turn them in. I asked Jesse to talk with me about the whole situation. We talked about money, and doing what it takes to have that kind of responsibility. Then we waited. We sat and watched James play some Tiger Woods for awhile while we thought everything through. I just had this feeling like this was the right thing to do. I told Jesse I wanted to go forward with getting the place. Now this is were Jesse immediately started the whole "can we handle this. Can we afford this. You know that things will not be the same." I just told him I would be anything I had to do and that God would take care of us. We decided to turn in our application. The manager said we would find out if we got the place in a couple of hours. Well at 5pm the phone rang. She said the apartment was ours. I was shocked. This was the first time anything like this ever happened to me. I knew it was right. So we signed the papers and have already stared moving things in.

Through all this, Jesse and I have learned how to communicate on a much higher level. We balance ourselves out. I automatically think "Oh God will take care of everything" and Jesse automatically thinks "how are we going to do this?". So together we do what we can knowing that God is always going to take care of us.

This was also my first real adult decision. It was kinda scary. I didn't know what my parents were going to think. I didn't know how anyone was going to react. But I knew in my heart that I was listening to God. That we were including God in this decision. And whether we, or anyone else, felt it was too soon or too much, it was God's timing. And I praise Him for that!!!!!!
