In His Time
I never grasped the concept of everything happening in God's timing. I remember the first time I decided to rank in the Nursing program. Everything literally aligned, and I felt like I was getting all the green lights, but it turned out… I wasn't accepted. I was devastated and was disappointed because it didn't work out the way I hoped. I THOUGHT that 5 years ago was the right time. Truth be told, I'm grateful it worked out the way it did. I've constantly told others that if it wasn't for God keeping that door closed, my relationship with him wouldn't be where it is right now. I have learned and gained so much knowledge within the past 2 years that I don't think I would have had the opportunity to do it back then. God was equipping my faith this whole time and getting me ready for what's to come.
I really couldn't have come this far on my own; it's all because of God. Most of you may know, I received news that I was accepted into the nursing program at EPCC. I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am to God for opening this door and just being so patient and faithful. He truly is a promise keeper! This is just a reminder to me that in his timing, things will happen. God truly gives us the desires of our heart. I never gave up; even after I failed classes and never got accepted, God helped me keep going. I even came across people who would tell me to maybe start thinking about doing something else or try going for this career…I kept telling myself nursing is the only thing I want. I didn't have a plan B, and I really didn't see myself wanting anything else. I kept trusting even though it was hard. I'm not going to lie, I doubted, and I DOUBTED a lot sometimes, but God still remained faithful.
God heard my prayers, and it never came back void. I don't know if you're waiting for something in your life to take off or you're waiting for things to get better in your life…but if I could tell you one thing, it would be to keep praying and trusting that in HIS TIMING, it will come to pass…it may not be the way we want it to happen, but it definitely is the way that God intended it to happen. Everything is made perfect in his timing. He never promised the waiting was going to be easy, but he did promise that the wait was going to be worth it.
