Timing Is Everything

Ok, can I just say that the Lord definitely knows how to to get your attention!? Well, today was one of those days where He had to slap me in the face because I just wasn't listening. And haven't been listening for a few weeks..at least about one thing. I have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too antsy about moving on to the next stage of life. And I would get very jealous and angry when I would hear other people excited about their own lives being taken to the next level.

Well today I was reading Conference and Devotional talks for my Teachings of the Living Prophets class (in which I am waaaaaaay behind in). And what do you know my favorite scripture was quoted right in the middle of one. And do you know what my favorite scripture says?!?!? Well let me tell you in case you were curious... My favorite scripture is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 and it says:

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

What a wake-up call!! The Lord was telling me "Nicole, it's just not your time. It's not my plan right now. So be patient, breathe. Trust me and in due time, you will be permitted to move forward and feel that same happiness that others are feeling right now."

Well I will be breathing and trusting in the Lord. Because let's be honest, He definitely knows better than me what is best.
