Me and My Tree

Before we left our cabin in Colorado,

I had hubby take a picture of me in front of my most favorite tree.

The blue spruce.

It smells great, so soft and well just about perfect for me.

It was a cool 38 degrees when we were leaving. 

Leaving back to the hot desert.

Isn't it wonderful how perfect God made that tree. 

Nurturing it. Giving it sunshine to grow.

Giving it just the right amount.

Giving it water to grow little by little.

That is what he does with us.

By faith he changes us, little by little.

Sometimes it is a painful process.

Sometimes it isn't.

But He is always to faithful.

God's Timing

Reflecting today. 

God's timing is just as important as being in God's will.

I say it all the time. 

God I want only your will for me life.

Even as I type it I can feel it deep with in me.

But being in His will also means being okay with this timing.

That does not always sit well with me.

As a human when things are being unraveled right before our eyes,
and we see the blessings coming...
We have to remember..
they are not always poured out at once.
 Matter of fact most of the time
they are not.
And if they are going along pretty quickly, I have to STOP and ask...
is this you Lord?
Or my hand pushing things along.


That is one of the great things about the Lord.
He always finishes what he has started in us.

So when I get anxious and want things done yesterday,
I have to remind myself
It is in His timing.
