When we have unfulfilled longings it’s hard to trust God for His timing. But even with all our questions and heartache we’re reminded in scripture that we can trust that God’s timing is perfect!

Perry and his bride Teresa were just on their 40th anniversary trip to Italy and Ireland. And on a sunshiny morning in St. Peter’s Square in Rome they met Jorge. Jorge asked Perry to take his picture with St. Peter’s Basilica in the background. Then Perry’s asked Jorge, “What does Jesus mean to you?” It was a stunning God moment.

Shawna’s pet peeve is being interrupted. But there was one time she was grateful for it. God interrupted her freak out with a message of correction and love. 

Perry had gone in to get some blood work. Get in, get out, move on with the day. But then there was this really troubled woman in the hospital lobby. He’d gotten his blood work and had left the hospital when the Holy Spirit said, “Go back and see if you can help this woman.”

Our love for God leads us to surrender. Shawna has a situation in her life that she cannot control, no matter how hard she tries. So she: 1) freaked out, 2) got mad, and 3) told God the truth—that she was scared. He met her in unexpected ways in her honesty, and it led her to love Him even more, and ultimately, to surrender.
