What's the Rush?

There is a right time for everything, 
and everything on earth will happen at the right time.
Ecclesiastes 3:1



During my meditation time a question aroused in my heart. Why do we desire to rush time? We say things like, "I can't wait until I start making more money or I can't wait until it's time for me to get married." We even say things such as "I can't wait until the weekend." Why do we do that? Yes I know its only a figure of speech but some of us really desire to rush time. In a world where we are constantly wanting more, it's easy to become bombarded with the distraction of time. If you think about it, time is how we measure our entire day. From what time we're expected to be at work to the time we get off, we're constantly being pressed by time.

While meditating over this, I felt God say, "Stop trying to rush me. I am in control." As I puzzled over God telling me this He begin to remind me that He is God and God alone. He begin to remind me that He can do anything. He knows how to do what I desire and He knows when to do what I desire. You see we as people try to help God and we don't even realize it. "Well I'm going to put this little bug in this person's ear so they can do X,Y,& Z." No! If God wanted that person to do something in your life he would have him move. Take your hand off your life! I'm reminded of Matthew 16:24, “If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.” Jesus is telling us to give him full control over our lives. Stop trying to mulnuplate everything. Don't you know that God is the creator of time? So why are you so concern with it? He has made everything beautiful in his own time (Ecclesiastes 3:1). In always every scripture God associates doing something at "the right time." He doesn't do anything randomly. God does everything at just the right time. Time is defined as an opportune or suitable moment.

So don't become frustrated about the things you don't see in your life. Trust that God will do it at just the right time. See rushing things in your life can cause you to settle for less than God's best. I don't know about you, but I dread the day that I see my Father's face and He shows me all the great things He desperately wanted to give me, but because I rushed things and did things in my own will, I ended up with something He never intended to give me. I want to receive the great things He has. Not my will, but your will be done God! Lets stop rushing things in our lives and trust that God is in total control.

Don't Cash Out on Your Blessing

My favorite pizza spot is Domino's Pizza. So much so, I worked there in high school for about....seven months. That's a pretty long time for a high school student in my opinion. Talking to my friend about life situations, he randomly asked me if I had ever heard the story of the brothers who owned Domino's Pizza. I'll be honest with you and say, "although I worked for Domino's Pizza I never took the time to learn their history." So of course my response to him was a big fat "no." Well, in 1960 two brothers by the name of Tom Monoghan and James purchased DomiNicki, a pizza store in Michigan. After just eight months of taking over the ailing pizza store, James wanted out. He owned 50% of the business and cashed out by trading his half to his brother Tom for a Volkswagon Beetle the brothers had bought as a delivery car. In 1965, Tom renamed the business Domino's Pizza. Two years later, the first Domino's Pizza franchise store opened. B...

Worth the Wait

So I've had braces a little over a year now and if you've had braces before you know the struggle can become real, especially after a visit from getting them tighten. Having your braces adjusted can cause some mild pain and discomfort, since it puts pressure on your teeth. As the teeth are under pressure, bones and tissues are breaking down. The teeth and their supporting structures are then able to begin moving again, continuing the process of slowly moving the teeth into their desired positions. I'm able to tolerate the shifting, discomfort and pain because I know the pressure is for my good. Every now and then I find myself examining my teeth to see if any progress has been made. In some places, I see an enormously amount of change. Other areas, not so much but I know something is happening.  As I examine what I think to be slow progression, I begin to think of the change and seasons in my own life. How much is my life evolving? When will this happen or when wi...

Just Right!

Then the LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him." Genesis 2:18 "You're so pretty, smart, and career oriented but why are you single? What's wrong with you? You must be picky!" As a 24 year old who will be 25 in a couple of weeks, I've been hearing this a lot lately. So much that when I go to my quiet place I ask myself, "is the reason that I'm single because I'm picky?" I was taken to Genesis 2 in my reading time one morning and I read, "Then the LORD God said, It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him (Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬ NLT)." I kept reading this verse because I realized that even in the beginning God desired so much for us! Even down to us not being alone. God is not blind to the fact that man doesn't want to be alone. He even said that it wasn't good. In the second portion of that same scr...
