Photography has been a small hobby of mine for a while now, but recently I upgraded and bought myself a Canon DSLR camera. I hope to start learning about the realms of photography beyond automatic settings, and use some of my free time happily snapping away. I've also started a new blog, just for my photos. You can go to
lifesturnsphotography.blogspot.com and check it out from time to time!

God's Timing
Have you ever thought about the timing of certain events in your life? Recently I was confronted with the fact that God's timing is always perfect. Yes, it's something most of us are taught from a young age. But, if you are anything like me, there are many times in our life where things seem to happen at the most inconvenient times... or so we think.
At the moment I've got a crooked smile, and it hurts when I try take a bite from a hamburger. My stomach can't decide if it wants food or not. I've spent the last three days on antibiotics, panadol and the couch (when I'm not in bed). I've been house-confined for most of a weekend, and couldn't go to church yesterday. I can't spend my holidays like I'd planned. I have to hope that I can still go on my planned mini-getaway with friends on Friday. I can't sleep properly because my body clock's shot. Lots of things to be annoyed at, or consider inconvenient. All for an abscess in my cheek, which is causing me quite some pain and discomfort.
But in all my thoughts, there was one thing that stood out. I'm on holidays. Good or bad thing? In this case, I would say it would be a good thing. If it was the middle of the school term, I wouldn't be able to teach. And that's quite a big thing for me at the moment. So, God's timing is better than I'd thought. To go to the doctor on the last Friday afternoon of the school term was a bothersome hassle. But God's timing was perfect because it wasn't a quick-fix bandaid job. I've got the holidays to recuperate and hopefully I'll be back to normal soon and able to resume my teaching tasks.
And I can spend my holidays like I'd jokingly said: Laid up on the couch annoying my mother.
Are there times in your life that your timing hasn't fit in with God's? I hope you're as thankful for that as I am.
