This won't be a long post. I just want to point out Jeremiah 29:11. It's been a meaningful verse to me for a while now, and it's a verse that I'm now coming back to.
It's God's timing, not mine.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Something that I continue to learn more about God is that He is trustworthy. We can only see God's timing in hindsight, if even that. I sometimes get frustrated at God's timing, and I don't understand why certain things happen. But looking back, I see how God has a plan for me. It's a very simple concept, that God knows the plans He has for us, but it can be very hard to accept that fact, to trust in it. When things get hard, I ask God a bunch of "why" questions, like "Why is it so hard to accept your current plan for me?" and "Why can't your timing be closer to my timing?" But in the past, and currently, I go back to verses like Jeremiah 29:11, and I ask God to help me trust in them. I don't want this to seem like an easy and quick process, because it is usually not at all. But I know it works.
It's God's timing, not mine.
You are being molded into a man of God, I'm thankful and proud of the way you are letting Him guide your life!
