Timing Is Everything

I'm enjoying my current Bible Study, even though I've only attended two of the first five sessions and I'm not currently finding the time to do the "homework". But, I so enjoy the Beth Moore video and the fellowship with the women who attend.

The current study is Esther, and yesterday's session was a lot about timing. Wow, I've learned over the past twenty years, that timing is everything. One of Beth Moore's quotes from the session was,"If we cannot wait upon the Lord, we will not fulfill our destiny." How true that is. In this world of instant messaging, texting, minimizing waits at every turn of our day, we are practically unwilling to wait on anything. How sad to be unwilling to wait on the Lord, and fail to fulfill our destiny, our perfect life that He planned just for us, because we're always in a hurry. Some things are worth waiting for, maybe we should slow down, pay attention and wait for God to show us the way.

The Upperroom was fun for me to read this morning. I just finished writing the letter that I'll send out to former classmates to announce our upcoming reunion. Well, the daily devotion from Upperroom is about "Letters". I am so excited to reach out to those former classmates of mine, many I have known since the fourth grade. It's always a fun time to catch up with them all.

I also enjoy sending and receiving email letters from friends that I've left behind on life's journey. Even though we can't visit and chat face to face like we used to, we can still share our lives through our computers.

The daily devotion story reminds us, through one of Paul's letters, that we, ourselves, are letters known and read by everybody. I hope and pray that when I am, through God's precious timing, given the opportunity to cross paths with someone, that they see in me the love that Christ has for each of us.

Poor Pepper is still having a hard time with his new haircut. He and Taffy are finding it difficult going outside during these cool mornings. I hope warmer weather is coming soon, for their sake as well as mine. May you enjoy God's perfect timing today and have a great day, luv, Susan
