Timing...

They say in life that it’s everything.

That it’s either well or ill, timed.

Like those that miss an airline flight that ultimately crashes.

The job seeker applying for a position, with all the right qualifications, who is told, “sorry we just hired someone.”

That a good comedian possesses it.

The lover who misses sending their loved off on a business trip, because of traffic delays.

The engine that purrs like a kitten, because has been well timed.

The person with depleted checking account funds missing the deadline to avoid the bounced check fees.

And then there are those of us who, are constantly behind trying to catch the “well timed” cycle of life.

An overweight, infatuated & dateless middle schooler. Who, blossoms into something wonderful in high school, only to be found to be too familiar with the current & past infatuations.

Finally becoming interested in being educated in the latest “hot” career field & finding it full.

Either entering the stock market after the latest growth period or leaving it before it ends, 6 months later.

The person who has married their “soul mate” & years later actually meet that person.

The recent divorcee who meets someone that is beautiful, charming & engaging only to be told that “It’s too soon for you, don’t catch me on the rebound, OK?”

Timing…

Wish I could catch that “well” cycle sometime before I pass from this life.

Wow, that was amazing, very well written. It really hit home. I too am chasing that "well" cycle and it's exhausting..always trying to catch up, trying to find that wave of perfect timing that everyone else seems to be riding on.

Thanks for the kind words. Most appreciated.

This is very well thought out and composed. It also expresses all the peaks and valleys in life that we all face while in this world and thus can all relate to.

Keep in mind that while 'our' timing may not always appear to be in a 'well' cycle in our own eyes--God's timing for us IS always perfect.
In the times that we feel that we are at our lowest and weakest--Papa God is at his strongest.
Our trials and suffering in this world are so small comapred to the suffering that Christ Jesus endured for us, the burdens He bore for us, and what ultimately He has given us.
Often times things that we want are out of our reach only because the Lord has something better in store for us. Trust in the Lord God Almighty always. Know that you can never let Him down, because you are not holding Him up--He is holding you. For the Will of God will never lead you to where the Grace of God cannot protect you.

Live in the Faith, Joy, and Love of the Lord tf73.

Blessings!

Seems like no matter whom we are, at one time or another
we try to catch that cycle of life... Good write

Well written Prophetic Servant. Gods timing is the only timing for people who truely believe in him. Some of us are sensitive to that and some are not. All in good time and not before. "God" if we are trusting him, is never late.
