Happy Friday everyone! This week was long. I'm excited for the weekend for some much needed rest and relaxation.
Lately I've noticed a trend, maybe it's just a blogging trend, but it's definitely 2016's trend. It seems like everyone is picking a word to describe 2016. Acceptance. Forgiveness. Say no. Say yes. In the spirit of resolutions or maybe in the spirit of getting rid of resolutions - picking a word to focus on seems to be the popular thing to do this year.
I for one, didn't pick a word for 2016. I totally agree with the idea of it, but when I sat down to think about what my word would be I drew a complete blank. How could I possibly pick one word to describe or focus on for an entire year.
That was until this morning. I woke up at 5am and all I could hear was patience - trust the timing of your life. It was like God was speaking right to my heart.
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.

This verse was ringing in my head ---
Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.
Read that again.
I have to be perfectly honest, I don't do waiting very well. I've said it once and I'll say it again, I am a planner. My life is planned out months in advance and I like it that way. I like to be in control.
But it seems lately there are so many things out of my control. From finding a house, closing on a house - to job situations, blog situations, friend situations. I feel like I'm not in control. Things are not happening when I want them too, how I want them too and I feel a little like I'm on a roller coaster.
I was just telling Adam like night how I feel like everything is just kind of flying around me and I'm doing all I can to not fly away with it. I'm trying to control what I can, but I'm sucking at it.
Last night when I went to bed I prayed for patience and peace. I didn't really know why or what I was searching for, but them boom - 5am, God knew.
I'm learning to trust God and trust the timing of my life. There are things that certainty aren't in my timing or my plan. But I'm learning that those things are usually the things that end up being the very best.
So while me, the planning months ahead control freak, is kind of freaking out about things in life, I'm learning to trust. I'm learning that I cannot possibly be in control of everything and that usually things work out in the long run, even if I cannot see those things now.
