He is Good!

I remember when I used to go to the Youth group at Roswell UMC back when I was in grade school. Half of us would always scream, "God is good all the time!..." and the other half would scream, "All the time, God is good!"

Isn't that a true statement? God is good, all the time! He really is. How is he not good?

Last week, I was kind of impatient with God. I wished that He would provide the support NOW. I was looking at my schedule and wondering why it wasn't going my way. But, don't we always get like that? Aren't we always impatient, wondering why it is taking God so long? I know that He is up there, looking down at us, saying "Chill, I have got it under control... Just be patient and faithful."

Every day, I get more and more excited about leaving for the UK. I know this is in God's plan for me, because He has affirmed it so many times. I am at about 50% monthly pledged support, and still have a couple more meetings left. One with Perimeter Church and a couple more with friends and family. I know that I don't have to worry about the timing. God has it all in control. He is just testing me to see how I handle it.

JonJon I am praying for you -- for God to provide what He knows you need and I am praying for Him to continue reshaping your heart into a heart just like His. And while He is doing THAT, please pray for me, a mom who is having a hard time opening up her clenched fingers to let go and having a hard time expressing the myriad of emotions that go along with the act of releasing once and for all her youngest...thank you for being you and thank you for allowing God to do all He is in and through you...
