Ode to the Grape (iii)

I always come back to Ecclesiastes 3:11, it's mind-blowingly true...

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."

In 4 years, everything happened at the right time. I've always wondered why it took some things so long to occur and why some things just happened, however good or bad it may be.

I realized that in this "waiting period", God is preparing our hearts to accept what is to be pushed in front of us. This has happened one time too many and the instances that have occurred for me could fill volumes. As of lately, I've realized again and again how truly perfect His timing is in delivering stuff.

He knows. I am grateful that these "deliveries" have and still continue to fine-tune my patience, knowing and learning how to wait upon the Lord.

He provides too. Always. I keep quoting Matthew 6:25-34 for good reason.

CCF, UVA, but most importantly, that Good Shepherd have been instrumental in shaping this guy in realizing this.

Thanks.
