His Good and Perfect Timing

Before I start, I apologize that it's been a whole month since I've written something. My spring semester is quickly coming to a close and course work has increasing, thus leading to less time to blog.


If there's anything I've learned through this crazy journey with God in the last month, it is His good and perfect timing. One could say that my push and urgency to create unity has dwindled greatly. And, I guess you could say that, but it feels different to me. I do not feel defeated as others and I have felt when you feel so very strongly about something and it falls through.


I do not think this idea of unity among belivers across campus and denominational borders has fallen through. God has only said, "Not yet, just wait." Though at times it has been frustrating trying to share my enthusiasm and passion with people only to get a nod and a smile, I know God is working and moving. In his good and perfect timing. God has brought some amazing people my direction with whom I have shared many wonderful conversations about how to foster unity between our campuses.


I don't think we'll see his full in this tomorrow, next week, or even in the next year, but I am encouraged to know and see how He is moving individually in the lives of His children. God is moving and doing things for and through us. He is stretching us and growing us, and it's a beautiful thing.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.....What then shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:28, 31
