God makes all things beautiful, in His time. #allingodstime Just because you believed and it didn't work out your way or on your timetable doesn't mean that it's over. God is planning something better. #allingodstiming God's timetable is not our own. The pieces will come together when it's time. #waitforthelord Don't give up on God just because it's not happening on your time table. #trustgodstiming We must understand that God has His own schedule and is not bound by ours. #godstime God loves you far too much to hand you something too early or too late. He knows when you're ready for it. TRUST HIM! #trustingodstiming Some of the best things God will do in your life will not be on your schedule. #waitongod Walking with God implies that your own timeline would not be met most of the time, but when God answers in His timing, it will always be on time for you. #godstiming The in-between, the meantime, the waiting, the becoming can be frustrating but God's timetable is always better than ours. #waitingonthelord God's timing doesn't have to make sense, but it's still perfect. Trust Him beyond your own understanding. #waitingongod God's timing is forever accurate. Believe it. Trust it. Allow it. #godstimingnotmine God doesn't work for Amazon Prime. He doesn't guarantee two-day delivery. Keep waiting. Keep praying. Keep believing. #ingodsperfecttime 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap/TikTok for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.Romans 12:4-5 My calling Before we started our Live Inspired ministry on our website, Randomnestfamily.org, I thought that I was supposed to be a pastor of a church, but for a long time, I had no clue…

God is in the waiting...

”They who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation,be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12

"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14

"The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."  2 Peter 3:9

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14

"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him!" Isaiah 30:18

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8

Friend, if God is making you wait, He has His reasons, and all of them are good and for your long-term benefit!

God’s timing is not our timing. Friend, there is never a moment when God loses sight of your bigger picture. There is never a moment when God loses sight of the tiny details that lead to your bigger picture and He is AWESOME at moving those little details around until they create something breathtaking. And if the enemy is whispering that God has forgotten about you or you’re to small for Him to notice OR you have failed God in some way and don’t qualify for God’s notice, please ignore those LIES! There is not one teency little thing in your life that doesn’t matter to your loving Heavenly Father! Friend, He loves YOU!

God is preparing you for SOMETHING GREAT, just hold on, keep the faith and TRUST HIS TIMING! Amen!

“Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.” ― Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind

I found this verse tonight. By accident. (Or not) It was just so fitting in our life at the moment. We have the vision. We just need the patience.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 . . . . “For the vision is yet for the appointed [future] time It hurries toward the goal [of fulfillment]; it will not fail. Even though it delays, wait [patiently] for it, Because it will certainly come; it will not delay." #waitingonthelord #praying #vision #histime #histimeisperfect https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9MOmIB_df/?utm_medium=tumblr

Shouting in the stillness

One day a week, I teach a music and storytelling class for little ones. Yesterday I showed them a book about the difference between being loud and quiet. I would read the page and then ask them imitate the quiet and loud noises. It was hysterical for me to see how uninterested they were in being quiet and how incredibly eager they were to shout, bang, sing and stomp. Even the little children demonstrated how uncomfortable and boring it can be to sit in the stillness.

Last night, I came across a quote from one of Tim Keller's sermons. It said, "A sense of Jesus' absence might be a sign of his presence--a sign he's working already in your life." I had to read it a few times and let it seep in because it was difficult for me to grasp. How can His seeming absence be a sign of His presence? It just didn't make sense to me.

Ironically, I had just finished writing my first blog about standing still when everything tells me to run. So, as I read this quote, I decided to sit still and ponder what Tim Keller might have meant. I journaled as I sat and came across Romans 12:2 which said,

"Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

Most of the time, when I want transformation and change, I expect a message to come through loud and clear. A concise text message or a lightning bolt would be ideal! But it dawned on me that I cannot hear His still, small voice when there is loud noise all around me. I cannot "test" and "discern" the will of the Lord, as the verse says, if I am running and shouting in the stillness.

Noise and activity surround most of us in every direction, however, so it would make sense that one might equate the absence of noise with the absence of God's presence. It is so easy for me to miss the fact that God might be speaking to me, comforting me, directing me and actively loving me when, in my limited perspective, nothing is happening.

Yet, I harken back to the Israelites in the desert. They wandered for forty years in search of the promised land. Sure, they witnessed dramatic moments of God's awesome power. And so have I! But too often, when the stillness and lack of answers is dragged on, I jump to the conclusion that He has forgotten about me and has put the plane on auto pilot. I'm slowly starting to see that the opposite may be true...

...maybe there is something to be said about embracing the QUIET strength of the Lord, even when I don't feel anything. Maybe He IS doing something big when nothing seems to be happening at all. Maybe my vision is so impaired that I cannot recognize he is working all things together for my good in the day to day monotony...

...maybe...

I'm sure I will continue to fight the quiet and beg God to speak to me in dramatic overtures. It is my personal nature to shout in the stillness and fill the silence with noise. My prayer, however, is that I will learn to fight against that urge to fill all the gaps. I hope that I will begin to listen in the stillness and trust that God is moving even when I don't sense His presence or mighty hand.

Waiting on God is never a waste of time. #trustgod

God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for them to wait. #godstimingisperfect

Nobody likes to wait, but waiting will help you develop patience and deepen your trust in God. #trustgodstiming

God's timing teaches you to trust. #trustingod

Wait on God's timing and you'll have a better result. Rushing things will do no good. Have patience, and trust that everything will work out. #trustinggod

Many people stop pursuing the pathway to their destiny when they don't see things lining up as quickly as they thought they should. But God is intentionally using the delays and detours in our lives to develop us for where He is taking us. #trustinggodsplans

What God does in us while we wait is more important than what we are waiting for! #waitongod

The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours. #trustgodstiming

Some disappointments were divine.

Some closed doors were a blessing.

Sometimes, if we're honest, we wanted things that were not good for us. #waitonthelord

Waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be. #godstiming

Waiting on the Lord and Trusting His Sovereignty in Trials

“What it meant to pay the money over that night and secure the premises may be better imagined than described. Then he had not been mistaken after all! His work in Shanghai was not finished. Prayer was being answered and the guidance given for which he had longed and waited.”

~pg 66, Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret

Twenty weeks have passed by in the internship and we are done with our first semester! Summer is all about prepping for camp and there’s one more semester to go in the fall and God has been faithful every step of the way! We started reading the biography of Hudson Taylor, and the excerpt above reflects perfectly one huge theme of this internship- the goodness of the Lord to provide in times of waiting! Hudson Taylor was looking for housing to stay in to evangelize to the Chinese, having gone there rather poor and refusing to take pay for being a doctor, the Lord provided a home for him in the best timing! In our internship calls, we talked of how “waiting on the Lord means resting in God and His timing” and indeed is that something the Lord has taught me in the internship. From fundraising to God’s gracious timing on plane tickets and even more graciousness in canceling and re-booking flights God has had His hand over each event and prevailed in glory with the way He provides to quench every potential worry! The very crux of the internship- desiring to adopt/ foster and praying about mission for the last 2.5 years, seemingly seeing this as impossible due to singleness and rejections from jobs abroad, to seeing God put it all together so quickly and solidified by the Word centered-ness of the internship could not have been more of a testimony to how the Lord answers prayers, not necessarily in ways we think he’ll answer but in His timing. 

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose.” ~ Romans 8:28 (ESV)

Only in His timing and will are things more glorious than we can imagine. In it all, life still has twists though...

“He must give up his house, remove his belongings to Shanghai and be careful not transgress in future... Those young inquirers- Chang, Sung and the others- what was to become of them? Were they not his own children in the faith? How could he leave them with no help and so little knowledge in the things of God? Yet the Lord had permitted it. The work was His. He would not fail them nor forsake them.”

~ pg 70, Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret

The words above encourage immensely in trusting the Lord in His sovereignty! Hudson Taylor had a heart to evangelize to the Chinese, was provided housing, but then met difficulties a time later when he was kicked out of a certain area that was not “within British allowance” (even though other European countries had occupancy there). He had barely had a lot of time to grow the church to maturity there yet the Lord had permitted it. Taylor trusted that God would work and continued on! It reminds me of when Paul and his brothers in Acts were prevented by the Spirit to go to certain areas and how they meekly followed God’s leading. 

Greatly, the internship was also part of the theme of the grace of God’s sovereignty. God is sovereign in trusting that even though Mitchell aged out that God has a plan for His glory in that. God is sovereign in trusting that although all of a sudden the teaching laws of my district changed where I am forbidden to teacher without a licence. God is sovereign over the extremely tough circumstances I face study for two content exams on education (which I have no background in). He is sovereign that whether I pass and have to go through a 4 year process to get a license (which begs to question a difficult decision to apply to jobs abroad) or that if I fail God will provide a new job or a grace period. God is sovereign over my unsaved family’s lives and my next prayerfully opportune trip to visit my grandpa in Taiwan, which just approved of gay marriage. God is the sovereign over my life so what do I have to fear of all these things? 

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” ~ Romans 8:31-32, 37-39

There are so many unknowns in the future but I am so incredible excited to trust and wait on the Lord through each and every minute of it! I confess that I was met with anxieties the first week where it seemed like everything was hitting hard, but praise God for His grace and wake up call to give these things to Him for He will provide and be faithful to the end. On these promises did the joy come through the anxieties because He reminded me:

“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?” ~ Matthew 6:27

The Good Lord is right. Worry did nothing for me. So I choose to trust Him and I’m so excited for the day He provides and being able to as a beloved child say that I trusted my Father in it all and He came through. I will treasure being able to a cherished “brethren” to the Lord say that Christ, who adopted me into His family, worked it out for me for good on the basis of His blood alone. I will cherish being able to say, my kinsman-redeemer who is the bridegroom for the church, of who I am a part of a betrothal to Him for, has valiantly provided for and came through for His bride.

I spent most of today talking/chatting with people. Here's an interesting exchange earlier with @teacher.nikkipie Maybe God knows I'm growing weary, anxious and doubtful on so many "waiting areas". Nothing is wasted though. I believe all "wala langs" are necessary steps towards the "yun na yun" 🙂 Thru it all though, I am just so grateful to have the best set of people in this season to keep me sane, safe, reminded and guided. ♥️☝🏼 Oh well. 💁🏻 Sabi nga sa commercial..
