Tapestry in the making...

Right now in my life there are so many things going on. I honestly feel like God is doing all these incredible things around me. Everywhere I look lives are being changed for the good. My brother and his wife are about to have a baby boy. Alex has found a home and will be in America this year. So with all this going on around me it would be quite easy to say "God? When are we going to be able to experience this incredible life change?" For the past couple of weeks I have had my ups and downs regarding God's timing. But what I have come to learn is that God sees so much more than I do. That is where this whole tapestry topic comes into play. God is constantly looking at this incredible tapestry that He is working on every second of our lives. Philippians 1:6 states, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Everyday when I wake up I have to trust in the fact that God is still working in me. What this means to me is that He is preparing me for something incredible. He is constantly molding me into what He wants me to be. But I have to be patient. I have to constantly remind myself that I am not in control. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says that "eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and minds have not conceived what Christ has prepared for those who love Him." If I believe what the Word of God says then I have to believe that there is something in the making that will blow my mind away. Each day that I am obedient to God's will I get the privilege of experiencing His desires for my life. This was my thoughts for today...
