I have only ever been in two weddings but it seems now that weddings are the only thing happening at my age. I open Facebook or Instagram and there is another engagement. The first wedding I was ever in I was around the age of 6 and was a flower girl. I had this big poofy white dress on and shiny white shoes (you know those shoes your mom used to make you wear for Easter and church when you were little). My older sister was the other flower girl in her matching poofy dress. I was to go first dropping my flowers from my basket to pave the way for my sister. Well....knowing the typical Gena my timing was off and I stared to walk down the aisle way too early. Halfway down the aisle I hear a "ppppssstttt" it was the wedding planner calling me back. I embarrassingly enough ran back while everyone laughed at me. I was mortified and couldn't stop crying. My timing was off, way off.
Has your timing ever been off? You started down the aisle too soon only to be called back. Timing is such a weird concept but something we all share and agree on 1) we all want more time and 2) we all want timing to be on our side. Timing can be that sweet kiss on the cheek or that kick to the shin.
It's weird how sometimes the thing/person is right but the timing is off. IF ITS NOT THE RIGHT TIME IT WILL NEVER WORK. Here we go back to that control factor where we try and control everything to happen in the time frame we want it to. The thing is, LIFE IS SO MUCH SWEETER WHEN ITS IN GOD'S TIMING. We may pray a prayer or hope for a certain outcome and we don't get it when we want. We automatically assume that prayer wasn't answered or we flat out got a "No". WHAT IVE LEARNED IS THAT NOTHING REVOLVES AROUND OUR TIMING BUT HIS. We have to get timing out of our head because it will only lead us to missed expectations and heartbreak. ITS NOT THAT HE DIDN'T ANSWER YOUR PRAYER BUT INSTEAD HE IS WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME WHERE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY SEE HIS GLORY. If our eyes are closed we will miss something, same thing with time. If he answers our prayers when we want him to we will most of the time miss what he is trying to teach us. We think we are ready but we aren't, he waits till we have the right tools before he gives us the blessing. TIMING ISN'T OURS AND AS SOON AS YOU BEGIN TO REALIZE AND TRUST THAT YOU'LL START SEEING MORE AND MORE BLESSINGS. Trust the process, trust the journey and know that timing is on your side if you just place it in the right hands.
