We always think the end is the most important time.  Why are we looking forward to when things are over? Is it really that we want them over or that we want to be on to the next thing?  I often think when I am done with this, it will be better.  When I don’t have to deal with the situation I am in, all will be at peace. On our daily dates, God is always with me in the moment.  Is it that I do not think I can handle what I am in the middle of or I simply don’t like it or somewhere there must be something better going on?  We are where we are at in the moment we are in it.  It is not easy to trust in the timing of God.  I am certain God laughs all the time hearing me go on about why something is taking so long or is not happening soon enough.  I find God draws me back to my heart in those moments to let me know where I am is exactly where I am supposed to be.  If by the will of force I could change my reality, I would have done it.  The irony is in many ways I already have done it and I am where I am because of it.  Just because I do not understand the timing of life doesn’t mean it is wrong or I have a better way.  Why do we get upset that we are not at our vacation yet when we are on the road to get there?  It isn’t just children who go around asking, “Are we there yet?”  When I settle back into the truth of who I am I can see the timing of life as not something I can orchestrate at all.  Just because I can see how it moves according to numbers on a dial, does not mean I have any real idea of how many things go into the workings of something coming about or changing in my life.  Much like I do not see all the inner workings of a clock, I do not know what inner workings of my heart are at play when it comes to the timing of my life.  I am left with trust in God’s view or not.
