God's timing is perfect.

Why is it such a struggle to trust God? I can't be the only who has a difficult time when it comes to this. God tells us all throughout the Bible to not fear. He asks us to trust Him knowing He will provide us with the faith we need. And what He does with that faith is incredible even faith as small as a mustard seed.

He put another parable before them, saying, "The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seed, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches." 

Matthew 13:31-32

So with my little mustard seed of faith I am doing my best to trust God with my life for this fall and coming year. And boy it is so stinkin' hard but God doesn't tell us this life we choose to live to follow Him will be easy. He actually tells us it is going to be hard. We have hope though knowing we aren't doing this alone. He calls us to team up with Him. Just take a second and think about this. The God of the universe cares so stinkin' much about us that He asks us to team up with Him. How cool is that? 

Since I have been home I have been able to catch up with a lot of people. Each person I have met with has been not only encouraging but I have been so inspired by each one. And I have to laugh at God's timing with some of the people I have met. It stinks knowing I will be leaving and some of the people I have met will be leaving as well. I have faith knowing that each person I have been able to hang out with and grab coffee with... well that God's timing is perfect and that there is a purpose behind meeting them. It has been so neat chatting with people and picking up where we left off or for the new people I have met they feel like old friends. God is good. As I type this I can't help but smile. God has blessed me with so much. Today I am grateful for the fact that He has a plan and His timing is perfect.

I leave this post with a question for you. 

Are you willing to say yes to God's call on your life even if it means abandoning everything you are comfortable with?

I am struggling with this question myself, but God calls us to follow Him. No matter the cost. He desires all of us. And just think of the disciples they didn't know what they were getting into when Jesus called them to follow him but they dropped everything they knew and followed him.

Radical obedience. Prayer. Trust. Faith. God's timing is perfect.
