All About Us - God's Perfect Timing

Wow. Guys. God is so good.

A handful of Saturdays ago was my sister's wedding rehearsal, the wedding the next day, and the location of it was about three and a half hours from where we live. So that morning we were scrambling to finish making cupcakes, get packed, and get out of the house.

Unfortunately, things weren't working out as we wished, and it seemed like time was just slipping away before we could get anything done. Now this was the first of my siblings to get married, so none of us had ever done much like this before. My mommy even broke down a few times because we were getting out of the house so late.

But God's timing is always perfect.

Right before we walked out of the house, my mom's friend called. She was locked out of her house. And we had a key.

Guys, is God so amazing! He kept us in town, so that we would be able to help a friend in need! Isn't that epic?! Ah! This little "lesson learned" inspired me, and I decided, with her permission, to have a very, very close friend of mine share with you a similar story in which God's perfect timing showed through!

"I was struggling with the fear of losing a friend who is very close to my heart, and as it's one of my worst fears, I was very upset. I have a prayer box. I write little prayers and post them in the box and dedicate it to God. Once it's in the box, I can't worry about it because I've given it to God. I wrote a prayer that included a pleading to know that even if this girl leaves me, that I have Jesus and I'm not alone. I posted it in the box.
