When we will go...

Timing is everything. I learned that about humor several years ago. Two people can say the exact same thing. One will get a laugh and the other won't. It's all in the timing.

We have been on a journey towards the Czech Republic for the last couple of years. We continue on in that. What we are coming to realize more and more each day is that our arrival there will be in God's timing.

This has been very difficult for us to learn. We are impatient people and we want things now. We want to be there now. We want the funds to be raised now. We want it all to happen now. The problem is that God is not ready for us. I don't mean that God is not ready, but that He is not ready for us to be there. It could be us. It could be something else that we need to learn before we go. It could be something there. We just don't know.

So in the meantime, here we are. We continue to do the same thing week after week. We travel to churches and share our story. We know that is what we are supposed to be doing so we are acting in obedience. We call pastors and churches each week because that is what we are to do right now. We do what we know to be doing.

We don't know when though. But we do know that it has been by the hand of God that we are this far. And it will be by His provision that we get the rest of our necessary funding. It will be when He makes it happen. So we will continue to do our part. And we wait on God to do His part.
