God's timing is perfect

I don't know what I want to write about, but am missing writing on my blog. Just wanted to stop by and say that God's timing is perfect. I'm so thankful for friends who are willing to share and say things that are hard to hear, but are just want I need to hear. I was telling a friend today that Mike and I are looking into adoption. I told her that we were going to go to a free informational meeting on adoption next week. Then she was telling me from experience to really try to be submissive to Mike and let him take the lead. I knew that already, but God was using my friend in his perfect timing to remind me that He is still in control.

Next, I came home to read an e-mail from the adoption agency stating that they were not going to have the informational meeting and furthermore, were not doing home studies for Florida any more either. This again was God's way of telling me his timing is perfect. This was all the confirmation that I needed to know that God was preparing my heart to talk with Mike.

Again, God's perfect timing because Mike has been out of town all week with his work and was coming home tonight. So I knew I needed to talk to him regarding adoption and how the Lord has been directing my thoughts and prayers. Mike got home as I had typed the first two sentences of this blog. God is never late, never early, but always on time! I had prepared myself to talk to him about adoption and then knock me off my feet--Mike mentions the adoption meeting next week. So I knew this was God giving me the opportunity to talk to him about what He been teaching me this week. I kept telling him that I was sorry for having a serious conversation after he had just walked into the door. He was patient and understanding to my conversation.

I know after today, experiencing God's perfect timing, we are to continue to seek Him and use his timing and not mine--which is sooo hard. Please pray for me to be submissive and respect Mike as the leader of our home. Pray for Mike as he researches different adoption agencies. Pray for us as we wait to experience God's perfect timing in our adoption journey.
