Yesterday was nine weeks into my recovery, and the bubble went “POOF!”

The bubble didn’t go “POOF,” at six weeks, and it didn’t go “POOF,” at seven weeks and it didn’t even go “POOF,” at eight weeks, even though I was told it would be between 6-8 weeks! No, God‘s timing is not man’s timing. And even though I prayed it would be six weeks God knew it would be nine.

I woke up yesterday morning, the morning that marked nine weeks after my surgery when the gas bubble was placed in my eye in order to perform the surgery, and the bubble was gone! God took it away in His timing, not my timing and not the timing of the medical professionals, HIS TIMING!

I am learning much about God‘s timing and the one thing I know most about it is, IT’S NOT MY TIMING!

Nine weeks ago my timing was to be in Southern California with my four grand children splashing in the ocean waves and digging in the sand. But God’s timing was for me to be cared for by a Christian surgeon when my retina detached from my right eye.

My timing was to fly in an airplane halfway across the country to attend a family wedding! God’s timing was for me to heal with my eye parallel to the ground for several weeks and not go above 1000 feet.

My timing was to spend much of my summer helping my children with their children while they had mission trips, children’s camps, and many events! God’s timing was for my children and even my grandchildren to care for me while I healed.

My timing was to heal quickly, even quicker than the doctors said. But God’s timing was for me to heal slowly so that I would not miss the fact that He was in control and I was not!

This emergency surgery in my life has taught me many lessons, some I’m sure I will continue to learn as the days and weeks and months pass by. But one lesson I know for sure that I have learned, beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that God’s timing is perfect and mine is not! The best part of this lesson is that I am thrilled that His timing is perfect. He knows everything and I do not!

I can plan but only God can perfectly provide!

God provides all that I need, when I need it, perfectly on time!

THIS HAS BEEN A JOURNEY OF FAITH! I HAVE HAD TO TRUST GOD FOR HIS PLAN AND LET GO OF MINE!

He has perfectly provided all that I have needed when I have needed it.

God knows what I do not know and my faith has increased as I have trusted Him for His timing!

TRUTH BOMB

God’s timing is perfectly on time every time!
