It won't be one second late.

While on couch duty because Tony was sick, I was flipping through the channels alittle before midnight a couple weeks ago.  I happened upon  Joel Osteen's broadcast on ABC Family.  It wasn't even on yet, I was just flipping through the guide to see what was up next.  And something said, you need to watch this.  I'll be the first to admit, I don't normally care for TV preaching, but I hit select and prepared to watch.  By the end of his first sentence, I was crying.  It wasn't just something that had told me to watch, It was God.  That show, that sermon was meant for me and my family.  I copied from Joel's website, because he says he much better:
The moment God puts a promise in your heart, He establishes a set time to bring it to pass. Habakkuk 2:3 says, “The vision is for an appointed time. Though it tarry, wait earnestly for it. It will surely come.” It won’t be one second late. When we understand this, we won’t live frustrated and discouraged when things aren’t happening as quickly as we would like because we know God is lining up everything as it should be for the appointed time.  When it’s your time, nothing can stop it from happening. You can stay in faith knowing with full confidence that your time is coming!

That was so meant for me.  He says too, that when God gives us these promises, he sometimes will take a step back to see how we handle not getting things immediately.  How if we wait patiently and trust in him, whatever it is,it'll happen, but on God's timetable and not a second late. 
So the day we found out that Mill's Pride was closing, God put in our hearts that a new job would find Tony.  And we know now it will not be a second late:)
And the day God showed me that there is precious little boy out there that is meant to be our son, we know now that we will find each other, and it won't be one second late:)
