Trust In God's Timing


A dark cloud seems to follow me; the cloud of despair. Not that anything catastrophically is pressing in my life, it is taking place around me, causing this dark cloud to insist on being my shadow. What I do know it this, I am aware and the Holy Spirit is my guide. I must stay connected to the source and trust the process. I could allow myself to get into a frenzy, but that will defeat the purpose of what God is doing in and around my life.

In our spiritual walk there are 3-keys that we need to be reminded of, Chronos, Kairos, and Pleroo. Let’s go deeper. The three words are of greek origin. I encourage you to look them up and learn more. Study to show yourself approved. God is all about timing and nothing that He does or even allows is out of His timing.  Look at Jesus, when Mary was informed that she would be giving birth, she was not planning that, God’s timing. Moses being pushed away in a basket down a river, to be taken in by the Pharaoh’s daughter, God’s timing. Do you see that God set forth a chain of events, at a specific time for everything? Timing! Let’s look at the 3-keys.

1.      Chronos – Chronological time. Preparation. Time. either long or short. This is the desert season and if you are here, know that you are being prepared for the next level. God is working out everything in you such as your posture of living, your response to life’s challenges, your prayer and worship life, your love of others , and your love of Him. God requires you to be diligent . obedient, and ready.  You must not grow weary in this season. Ask God what time is it for you.  Galatians 4:4

2.      Kairos – Seasonable time. Fixed and definite. Time of warring in your labor. This is the time where you come up against devastation and oppression, and it is here where we lose it by complaining and grumbling. We get caught up in petty arguments. We even start some petty arguments. We feel as if God is not hearing our prayers. No. it is  quite the opposite my dear ones, God is hearing us. He is also allowing some storms to take its course, to see just how you will go through. He already knows how you will come out. During this time it is chaos. You cannot move on feeling, you have to understand the direction God is taking you to get out the valley.  Psalm 84:4-7

3.      Pleroo – To make complete in a particular sense, perfected, and full measure. Time of joy. This is the fulfillment of God’s promise, but to get here you must go through some Chronos and some Kairos.  We don’t stay here long because God takes us from glory to glory, and during this time we change, grow, and learn. God must stretch us during this process. You may be in many phases of the stretching process. Jobs, home life, personal issues, all of these are stages. and there is more ahead. Keep moving. Sometimes when you are going through, it is Gods smoke signal.  Colossians 1:9

As I sit to complete this post after starting a few days ago, I am heart broken due to the loss of a family friend's child. I know death well. and it is something that no longer takes over in my spirit, so I thought.Today will be the anniversary of my oldest sister's passing, March 13th will forever be etched in my memory, along with the dates of others who have been called home too soon.

My heart can not grip this loss and it surely has ripped away any emotional protection I may
have tried to erect. Who was I kidding? I can't place a period where God has a comma. Through
it all, trust God and His timing. Though I may not understand the process, I am sold out on the
process, letting God do what He does so well. Mold and make. Prune and snip. As it states in
Ecclesiastes, there is a time and a place for everything under the sun. Everything.

Brothers and sisters, stop what you are doing right now, call someone you have been meaning to call. Hug your family and friends and say I love you with meaning. Our lives are vapors and vanish we all will. I speak this of you just as I am speaking this into my spirit. I too must do better in the area of really loving. I too must be available and present. I know what regret feels like. It happens when someone you truly do love passes on, but you missed the mark. Now, I get that there are some people you just can't have that deep relationship with and if they are bringing you pain and negativity, then by all means, love from a distance. I have learned that some people are not meant to trail behind you into the next season that God has in store for us. Trust the process.

Be Blessed

Spectators Never Win

1 Corinthians 9:24-26 in the NLT Paul tells us, “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing”. I am reminded with every breath, the race I am running. I know that God has given me the vision and because He alone is omnipotent, having unlimited power, I have won, I just have to run. I may stumble and fall, I may get scratched up and bruised, but run I must.   An athlete does not go into a race with doubt and fear. They are not concerned with who is cheering them on. A runner cannot focus on the runner next to them thought they are aware that they are there. A runner is focused on the run, the finish line, and the score board that tells them if they have beaten a previous record for the win.   Being a runner on the track is the same as

Win The Race With Endurance

Today has been a good day. How many of you get up in the mornings and say this? Do you get up with anticipation and drive to do all that you can in peace, or do you get up dreading the day before it even starts? You have a choice to either be grateful or in torment.  After a great call with a friend I haven't seen or talked to in over 30 years until a few weeks ago spoke so much life and confirmation in to me today.  I was reminded about endurance and running the race that God has placed me in. This race is nothing about what I want, it's about what His will is for me and nothing more. You see, we have to surrender our will for His will because as you know, God's will is the platform in which we have been placed at the starting line to run and not faint or grow weary. We been called and hand picked for a time such as now. Its urgent and immediate. Are you running to it or from it?  The past few months have been challenging on many levels and with these challen

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha
