Timing is everything

Ok so over the last week or so I have have realised something about life which I don't think I really thought about before. I mean I think I might have heard it in church but I didn't really take it seriously until this week when I was faced with a situation which got me thinking about it. I started thinking why don't all these things which I want to happen happen to me? So after thinking it over for awhile not coming up with an answer to my question I prayed and it seemed to give me the right answer (or at least I hoped it was the right answer as it seemed to make sense at the time).  The answer which I got from this was that God controls our lives and if we want something to happen or something is going to happen it will happen in God's time not the time that we want. Which means that all we have to do is trust him and be prepared for when it does happen whenever that may be.
