Right thing. Wrong time.

So, lets see. What can I liken this to?

picture these things and the complication they induce:

1. A craving for your favorite ice cream in 0 degree weather.
2. A craving for soup on the hottest day of summer.
3. Going to see the most anticipated movie, being late and it's sold out.
4. A massage...when you're sunburned.

These 4 examples all have something in common: THEY ARE THE RIGHT THING AT THE WRONG TIME.

This is arguably life's most beautifully frustrating issue. How can something feel so right, but have seemingly the worst timing ever. It's almost humorous. You get to a point where something finally seems like its going your way, and God says..."Waaaaait". Due to internal and external issues, a good, or even great, thing can be tainted by timing. I know a lot of you have experienced this feeling, it's awful. Now i cant make it all sound bad, because when its good, its amazing. incredible. seemingly perfect. But wait til you get alone, at night...then it hits you. REALITY. The hardest part about this problem is that no one is to blame, except time itself. They say "time heals all wounds" but it sure as hell wrecks alot of things as well. It's very difficult to be "ok" or "comfortable" with something that is completely out of your control. But then again, thats life. We have to trust that God knows what He's doing.

It comes down to looking at life, from the third party view. Sometimes life makes sense, other times it does not. Sometimes life seems perfect, other times it seems hopeless. It is up and down, back and forth, crazy.

Bottom line:

-The right thing at the wrong time can be frustrating, and it's easier to see the negative, for sure. But no one can deny that it will force you to practice virtues such as patience, trust, and self-control. It happens for a reason, along with everything, so im choosing to embrace it. Maybe the right thing will always be the right thing, and time will finally catch up, maybe not. Maybe what seems to be the right thing, is not the "rightest" or "best" thing. Maybe it really is right but it will always be the wrong time. Some things work, some dont

...but keep in mind, All things work together for those of us who love Him. 2 things i want to point out and then im done.

1. When the scripture says All, its referring to God's all, All of His things work together, and...
2. Those who LOVE him, this is an active love. If we are not diligent and active in our love there is no promise that all things will work according to His purpose.

We love because HE first loved us.
