He Makes All Things Beautiful in His Timing

This is one of those times I've felt a few times in the past year, since I started my music campaign "Songs for Orphans" in January.

One of those times where I just sit here and can't even begin to believe what the Lord has done and is doing right now in my life.

I feel like the happiest person alive.  And how could I not be?  God has tapped into the deepest desires of my heart and let me in on His, and our dreams and desires have molded together into something that honestly puts me in awe and sometimes to the point of tears.  I get to write His words and sing His fatherly heart over people.  I, in one of my most passionate areas (music), get to see people reconciled to the Father's heart.  I get to sing for orphans.  He makes all things beautiful in His timing.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that this is what I would be doing with music.  I had totally different plans in my mind.  But even though I had different plans in my mind, He knew the true dreams in my heart that I didn't even know about yet.  The dreams that would be the most fulfilling for me and that I couldn't take the credit for.  He makes all things beautiful in His timing.

Two years ago and for two years, doors slammed shut in my face because I didn't know what our dream was yet.  And now the Lord has awakened our dream inside of me, surfaced it, and completely provided for it.  I honestly have always had a hard time saving my own money, and so I have never really been able to get my own equipment when it comes to music.  But the Father has provided for me even in the midst of my weaknesses.  All of the money and the equipment I needed (for recording and shows) have literally, what I feel like, come out of nowhere and left me with still more money that can be given away.

I'm completely blown off my feet by the Father's love.

And I hope this can be a testimony to someone that if you feel like you are in a period where doors are slamming shut in your face, don't be discouraged.  Give it to Him completely.  You may have plans in your mind but have no idea what the dream for you and Him is yet on this earth.  He wants to awaken that dream inside of you, surface it, and provide everything for it in His timing.  He makes all things beautiful in His timing.

And I'm sure someday soon you'll be sitting down like me, having one of these times where you can't even begin to believe what the Lord has done, or what He is doing right now in your life.
