I admit I have never really understood Gods timing my entire life I have also wondered why things happen the way they do. You know for all kinds of things like the lose of a parents child, horrible car accidents, illnesses and what not. But its really been in pretty much my daily or at least monthly thoughts lately. Mostly revolving around children. Dont get me wrong I LOVE LOVE LOVE my kids but Daniel and I were not expecting to ever have kids and I am so grateful God chose to bless us with our 2 lovely children. But I am also sad for those who I love that would make the most awesomest parents and are in the best spiritual, emotional and financial shape sit and wait for God to bless them. I mean really now! take daniel and I we love each other yes and I think we got a pretty bangin marriage but we are BROKE! (financially) We have a very small section of home at my parents house. Then theres my sister in law they are awesome people, have a great marriage, very financially stable, both heavily involved with sandals church, both love kids very much and yet God is working in them something great I’m sure but they still wait. I read other peoples blogs and hear them talk and struggle with this and I have to admit I have a hard time understanding why God has given us children and not them. I don’t want this to sound like I am not oh so grateful for my children cause I am but my heart breaks for them. does this sound crazy?! I think the issue I am having has to do mainly with not understanding why God would want to bless me. Dont really know where I was going with this but its been on my heart for a while.
sorry I have horrible grammar and what not but this is how it comes out of my head.

God’s Timing, Well all His works are somewhat of a mystery to us. He has a greater picture of the whole thing that we just can’t fathom. I wonder too at times, why wasn’t I born into a different family where I would have been raised Christian and not had to make so many “mistakes” before finding my way to God. Or why seemingly undeserving parents are allowed to give birth over and over while good people wait or go childless. I can only trust that His plan is right for all. Don’t feel guilty that you have something you think someone else deserves. If God has blessed you, trust His decision and rejoice and be grateful for those blessings. Pray for others and trust in His timing. I may be rambling too, but my heart sank when I read your thoughts and I hope my words are encouraging. I often read your updates about your kids and see their photos and I know they are true blessings that you deserve and if nothing else, maybe God is using them to mold you!
Comment by Laurie Hitt Monday, August 31, 2009 @ 9:30 pmWHOA!! I never thought of it as God using them to work something in me. kinda makes me feel bad. you know like if i could just get it they’d be blessed. or does that sound even crazier. IDK. I’ve always had a hard time trusting His timing. when I found out I was pregnant with Micah my 1st thought was for my friends and family that are still waiting for their 1st child and here I am with 2. When I miscarried before I got pregnant with Trinity I was confused by Gods gift to those that I felt were undeserving. Guess you can never be happy.
just a very long learning process.
