God's Perfect Timing

Another school year has begun. Joshua a junior...wow! When did that happen? The young man in the picture with Joshua is Joseph. He is one of Josh's very good friends. One of the many reasons God moved us to the area we are in, I'm quite sure. Talk about a young man on fire for the Lord!

God's perfect timing in everything in our lives...that's what this post is about. I'm going to remind myself to read it each time I feel burdened by "why are these things happening?" I was speaking to Joshua's guidance counselor yesterday and it turns out that Joshua will only need to take 3 classes this year instead of what we had originally planned for him. This is great news!

We have recently had to remove the renters from our Vero Beach home and put that home on the market ... not the greatest timing, but we feel the Lord is calling us to do it, so we are being obedient. So financially, Joshua's schooling was going to be hard for us this year.

We had considered alternatives, but he has worked diligently at this school for the past 3 years and is on track to graduate with honors. He currently has 19.5 credits and is carrying a 3.878 GPA. He has all of his math requirements, science requirements, and foreign language requirements behind him. Hard is good as Brad Stine the Christian comedienne would say!!

It's important to him to walk down the aisle at the ceremony, so his father and I want to make the sacrifice for all of his hard work.

The 3 classes this year means we won't have to carry him at a full time rate and we will get a discount of $800! Praise the Lord for His mercies in every form they come. I am so grateful for all of his hard work that has paid off. There were many times that he wanted to be elsewhere, for example, the beach, but school was the priority, and now he is seeing the reward of that discipline.

At this time in his life, he is extremely busy and carrying only 3 classes will allow him the flexibility he needs to take on football and work and continue with his witnessing projects through his youth group. He is also planning on going to Brazil with the church on a mission trip.
God's perfect timing.

At this time in our life, we are learning to be more responsible with our finances and we don't charge anything anymore (yea)...we are on a tight budget. My husband makes a good living, but we are no longer just throwing it out the door...so only paying for 3 classes and saving $800 was such a great blessing. God's perfect timing.
