A little over a year ago, I started making my request known to the Lord that I was wanting to add to our family. Again. I asked, I prayed, I requested. This went on for about a month.
I was in a time of prayer and again requesting a new addition. Trying to figure out what the next step should be. I heard a still, small voice silence my inner-dialogue.
I was not to ask anymore.
I was not to question anymore.
My request had been heard.
He was on it.
In HIS time.
It would be perfect.
I did not need to worry anymore.
And from that moment on, I realized that He knew my heart's desire.
There is nothing more frustrating than to be questioned over and over and over for something by your child that you cannot make happen at that moment. It's usually only because it's TRULY not the right time for what they are asking or you do not have the physical things needed TO give it to them.
I truly feel like God was telling me -- It is not time. The pieces are not in place. And when He sees that it is time and the pieces are available to Him -- He will come through. He always does. I always try to come through for my son -- no matter the cost to me. How much more does He love me?
7-11"Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in. If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust? If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better? Matthew 7:11 (The Message)
