a time to plant and a time to uproot

I have another busy weekend ahead. I don’t enjoy being busy, but this weekend is a busy family weekend- no running involved!

Timing has been on my mind lately. Our timing vs God’s timing.

I was up for a job last October and I got it, but some people left our company and the position was no longer available. I was so disappointed. But if I had gotten that job I would have no had the opportunity for my current position. I really like what I do now and probably wouldn’t be as happy if I had gotten the first job. God’s timing vs my timing.

Its hard not to get frustrated with God and life when it just doesn’t go the way I want it to, when people leave us too soon, when our timing is so far off. Sometimes I try to look past the hurt of now to a time where all wounds are healed and all pain taken away. Sometimes I just don't understand. Today I just feel lucky for the day.


(and while my brain knows all this, my heart just feels and still aches)
