We live our lives in a rush, whether we’re rushing to class, to work, or back home after a long day -- we rush. We now live in a “right now” society, we want everything and everyone in our lives to revolve around when it’s best for us. I feel we’ve forgotten the biggest component to our lives: it’s all in God’s timing. I know for myself this is true, especially since I've come to the insanity that is college. I feel like I'm a hamster on a little wheel, chasing the minutes further and further away. Time is everything. We either have too much time, not enough time, we’re running out of time, or we’re running over time. We’re so concerned with the future, we’re forgetting the here and now, and forgetting God has a plan.
Everything happens for a reason. Upon deciding to live in an apartment, comes paying for rent. I'm a worrier, I worry about absolutely everything...and I mean everything. So whenever I decided to live in an apartment the next year of school, I began to worry about money. As a freshman, my parents let me take a semester off of working in order to get adjusted to school. I had worked hard junior and senior year alongside playing sports and participating in clubs, but I knew how to balance everything to make it work just right. At the beginning of my second semester, I began the job applications in order to start saving up for months of rent and groceries but man was I in for a surprise. Unlike back home, weeks of searching turned into months...I was beginning to lose all hope on ever finding a job. Living in a college town has its perks, but the workforce is also much more competitive -- we’ve all got bills to pay. So as a worrier, I began to worry...I worried about making enough money, getting a job period, and paying for college. My father is my best friend in the entire world, he’s my go-to guy with any and all problems, so needless to say he receives a lot of phone calls whenever I get stressed. Trust in the lord and he shall provide. After 1,000s of prayers, a doubt in faith, and possibly the most stressful month of my life -- I was rewarded. All in one day I was blessed with my dream part time job and was notified that my second year of school was paid for. There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1.

We all have our own stories of struggles, trials, and tribulations. We each have times where we question His plan, where we doubt out faith, but in the end, He is all knowing after all. God’s timing isn't just the best timing, it's the perfect timing. This too shall pass, when life gets hard and you start getting impatient just remember, it’s all in God’s timing.
