"Be Satisfied...In God's Timing"

by Sarah Bowling

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

How would you describe this “season” in your life? Are you feeling restless because ”things” are progressing too slowly…or too quickly?

Be encouraged! In Matthew 6:34, Jesus tells us not to worry about tomorrow. Worrying certainly won’t change God’s timeline—and it won’t “help” Him do what’s best for us.

Perhaps you yearn to be married…hope for a career promotion…or desire a loved one to come to Christ. Be patient! God has a divine timing and purpose for all things. He is intimately aware of your desires and acquainted with each season of your life. He knows exactly what you need, and when you need it. God has a PERFECT plan for your future in mind…and He is always right on time.

Be prayerful! When you feel impatient or panicky…or God’s answer seems too late or too early…align your calendar with God’s schedule. Ask Him to reveal His will for you. Look for evidence that His divine timetable is working in your life and adjust your viewpoint to line up with God’s.

Dear heavenly Father, thank You for helping us to rest in Your Word and trust Your wisdom rather than our own agendas. Give us grace to be patient and accept the timing of Your perfect plan, in Jesus’ name, amen

Being In Love

C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity wrote, “Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all....In fact, the state of being in love usually does not last....But of course ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love...is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask and receive from God....They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else. ‘Being in love’ first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enable them to keep their promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.” ---------------...

My baby's face..

finally we can have a picture how our baby would be look like... Yesterday me and david going for USG 4D.. Actually the best time to have USD 4D is when the pregnancy is only 6-7 months when the baby still small. our time is a bit too late coz the baby already big, so its a bit difficult to have a good image, but still we're so amazed to see how he got david nose...:) We can see all the body organs all in perfect condition, and the heart beat also perfect.. Can't wait to finally met him soon..... Here's some of the pictures..
