It has been always a slight annoyance to me the expression ‘that it will happen in God’s time’.  Time seems to be such an irrelevant concept when applied to God, that it seems silly that he would ever wait to do anything.  This genuinely struck me more as cliche that as any sort of useful piece of information.  Yet the more I walk with God and actually rely on him the more I find that He does have this weird sense of timing of which He does employ.  

For example the last couple months because of the unique upsetting of Kim’s and mine life I began to look for a new job. Many reason contributed but boredom was very high on the list.  I just wasn’t interested in pushing carts anymore…actually I don’t know if my job ever held my interest but it was now at a point where this was having a negative effect.  So probably more in disparity than anything I began to pray for something different.  To my annoyance nothing happened, at all.  For about two months my heralds for employment were unanswered.  And seemingly were my prayers.  During that time I became very angered, which for me comes more out as depressed.  I was living a very hurt life and seeing no end to it, which made things feel worse.  Don’t get me wrong I feel great honor in being able to engage in my role as husband by providing for Kim, but some days that just didn’t cut it.  But it wasn’t until I had seemingly found enjoyment in my suffering that my prayers were answered.  I was given a different position in the store, a new job.

Now normally this would seem like nothing more than a good coincidence.  But the first night of the job showed me that this was clearly of God’s blessing.  All the normal job bonuses were there better hours/pay, but my bosses kept finding me and showering me with compliments, and talking of how I was on the fast track.  Though I think I do well at my job this is the first time this has been acknowledged, even more so to this degree.  God made it clear that this was when and where He wanted me. This no matter how confusing it is to say was his intended timing.

More so this whole change of life Kim and I are having. Normally this drastic change would be devastating but for us it seems to be more of a blessing.  Instead of going overseas and having an adventure, we are staying in Sussex.  A place that honestly makes Smallville seem big.  But in this God has given us ministry and purpose, and more meaning that what it seemed we would have had if we left.  

I don’t always understand the path and ways God wishes us to travel.  Even more so I know I don’t come always the way he wishes.  But there is a wisdom to his ways that escapes me until I have gotten to where he wants me.  So things do happen in his time.
