It's Time

This post is gonna sound 

like I am going back in TIME.

Some of the items I got this weekend.
I paid $3 for the small clock (it works!)
and $5 for the large one (it doesn't!).
The bottle was on a shelf marked
"All items 50 cents."

A New Year, 

A New Beginning.

On January 29, 

I felt God whisper, 

"It's time."

No, I didn't hear an audible voice.

I don't suppose, anyway.

Like I said, 

"I FELT it" 

or should I say, 

"I Felt HIM."

A few days ago I read a verse 

that spoke volumes to me...

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's

mighty hand, that He may lift you up, 

in due TIME."

(1 Peter 5:6)

My daddy's sermon notes.
I must have heard him say 100 times,
"Wait on the Lord."

"And the God of all grace, 

Who called you into his eternal glory

IN CHRIST after you have 

suffered A LITTLE WHILE, 

will stablish, strengthen, and settle you."

1 Peter 5:10

Our timing and His "little while,"

are not always the same. 

The great thing about the workings of this
timekeeper is that the tick-tocking is not too loud.

God's message to me was personal.

He knew and I knew what

"It's Time," meant.

For me, 

it was time to "Let go."

It was the last Sunday evening in 2013.

My husband and I were the last ones

to take communion.

We had driven around for 30 minutes or so

before going in.

We almost decided to go home. 

But something or SOMEONE 

drew us back.

We waited 10 more minutes.

(What is it with this time thing with God????)

I was steadily shaking my head

as the pastor prayed for us thinking, 

"I can't go on like this."

Somewhere between the, "I can't,"

and the "go on."

He said, 

"I CAN."

And I heard, 

"It's TIME."

When I got in the car

Mr. H finished it.

He said, 

"It's time to let it go."

WHAT???

Did you hear it too???

TIME to let go of the grief and loss...

TIME to let go of the memories of the past...

TIME to let go of the plans

(my own plans and timing)

 for the future.

So I move forward knowing 

that

He makes all things beautiful,

IN HIS TIME,

Bonnie:)
