Timing.

Mark, Adelaide and I caught a bit of the Mountain Movers conference at church this morning. We were delighted to find that the speaker was a representative of the provincial level of government here in Ontario. He was a soft spoken older gentleman named Mario who had a lot of wisdom to share. I found his insight really encouraging to me at this point in my journey. Here are a few quotes in regards to timing that I couldn't help but jot down on an envelope in my purse,

"Never underestimate the power of preparation. David practiced by killing the lion and the bear before Goliath, and Esther had twelve months to learn how to act appropriately in the courts...Jesus said to his own mother that it was not yet time."

It was just another reminder that we don't have to be in a rush. Everything has its appointed time, and although it is hard to submit to times and seasons of preparation, it pays off.
