timing.

I'm unsure how uplifting this post will be, but I have two thoughts:

1. It's always been extremely interesting to me how God uses different things to send a message. It can be a song, a movie, something someone mentions in passing or even a fortune cookie.

2. Timing is probably one of the most important things to understand when trying to align our will with God's. Understanding that the timing is crucial can help us to be patient as well as understand God's greater plan.

So what I'm trying to say is that this insight came from listening to a new song by Motion City Soundtrack. I was really into them in high school, but kind of moved on to other music . . . I can't even remembered how I ended up finding this track or listening to it . . . The song has some interesting points and truths, though MCS is definitely not the most religious band you'll find.

The message I got out of it may not be their intended point, but that's one of the great things about songs and literature; it doesn't matter. Here's the song with lyrics:



It's a matter of timing. God takes us to where we are and where we need to be with his timing. Understanding his timing is key to being happy.

Be patient. Be diligent.
