God's Perfect Timing

It's been two weeks since God spoke to me about the dogwood tree blooms.  The blooms have brown spots on them and are very limp, but many are hanging on for their dear life.  I really thought we would be gone by now, but not so--not God's perfect timing yet.   We've had some developments, some things to happen, that we knew God wanted us to be a part of.    But now that these important issues are behind us and God was triumphant, we feel as if the blooms will be gone soon.  We contacted the preacher in India to tell him we didn't feel led to visit at this time. God did tell me on Thursday our trip would be "Perfecto" which I felt was his way of giving us a glimpse, a tiny hint about where we are going.  Perfecto is Spanish for perfect, so we are almost positive we are going to a Spanish speaking country.  But, you know what I've learned about God when it comes to him arranging our trips?  He's never predictable and always full of surprises because his thoughts and ways are so much greater and higher than our own.  He is always doing things in ways I could never possibly imagine.  We're always trying to figure out how we will hear where we are going.  Will God speak through someone?  Will it come in a dream?  A vision?  By phone?  E-mail?  Through a friend?  Etc.  But, one thing we are always sure of--our God has everything already set up, everyone already lined up.  All we have to do is sit back and wait. He's an awesome God.  And I'm proud to call him Father, Friend, and Provider.
