Spring time...

After so many long months of a wintery white wonder land, we are starting to get the first glimpse of spring! Oh joy! This Saturday will be 40 degrees! I feel like I've been underground for the last 5 months. The only color you seem to see is white, white, and more white with occasional hints of brown. I couldn't believe it when I got in the car today and it was warm!

Waiting for spring is sorta like waiting for your prayers to be answered sometimes. It can seem like you've prayed about something for weeks, months, maybe even years and nothing seems to happen. It can get frustrating and even make you wonder if God has heard you. So you pray differently, or ask why the delay. But we all seem to forget that our timing is not God's timing. We want Him to work within our schedule and time blocks. And we have the audacity to get impatient when things don't happen when we want them. God teaches us many things. And one of the many is patients. Whether it's waiting for our prayers to be answered, or waiting for spring! He always knows what time is best. Just think. If spring came a month or two after winter started, we wouldn't appreciate it as much, would we? It's only after months and months of that fluffy white stuff do we get a reprieve. Winter is fun, but after a while we all long for the colors and heat. There's no speeding the weather up, just like you can't make God do things before He wants them done. (So stop running around in shorts and T-shirts, It isn't going to bring summer here any faster!) Take a lesson from from God... His timing is perfect. And in a few short months His timing will bring summer! See! I told you it was perfect!
