So what if?

So what if events in life don't happen in the time frame that I expect them too? What if waiting five more years is what God has in mind? What if God wants me to do something other than what I had anticipated? Is that okay? Taking a deep breath in here...Yes, yes it is. Where is my hope placed anyways? Am I hoping for events A, B, C and D or am I hoping for the amazingly good and perfect will of God? And is it really God's will for me, the purposes that He has for my life, that will fulfill my hopes or is it Him himself? Do the contours of the road steal my gaze away from Him? Am I dawdling? Blessed Hope, it isn't the random bits of happiness we encounter on the way....It's who is waiting at the end.
