Every Storm Runs Out Of Rain

Lately I have been thinking a lot about timing.  Everything has a time it's supposed to happen. If it's not supposed to happen it won't. So many of my blessings have talked a lot about timing and in many different ways. 

Coming to this present time when we aren't currently doing treatments but working toward them has brought an even greater perspective of timing into my life. At first when we sat down and figured out the next step I had a feeling of wanting to rush everything along.  I wanted to find a way to get finances here and now and get everything else prepared for the next step.  I soon realized that was not necessarily the way to go.  There is no rushing God and His timing. Everything will happen when it's supposed to.

We knew we needed to turn to God and see what His will and timing was for our next treatments.  We had ideas of ways to make it come faster but we quickly learned some of those ways were not the path to follow,  however for others doors opened and we have been led down different paths. If God wanted it all to happen now,  or sooner,  he would make it all happen and lead us down those paths. We have found the paths we need to take and everything will fit together when it is supposed to.

I have not only been thinking of timing for this one specific example but also in a more broad perspective. Sometimes we know more about timing in a specific situation we are in than others.  Sometimes we know when a trial will end and sometimes we don't.  Infertility is one of those trials that will have an end but we just don't know when exactly.  We have been told in blessings that it's with Heavenly Fathers wisdom that He isn't giving us the timing.  It's part of the trial.  At least we know, and can remind ourselves that it does have an end.

One of the songs I love to listen to when I am having a rough time is "Every Storm Runs Out Of Rain". It's a reminder that all the pain and heartache has an end, we just need to wait for the right timing. If God gave us everything right away and didn't have trials that lasted very long we would not have as much time to figure things out and learn what we need to. Many times we focus on timing of smaller specific trials or situations but we don't remember it all fits into a much greater eternal scheme.  Heavenly Father loves us and wants to give us all He can but in His greater wisdom doesn't, so we can learn and progress and have eternal salvation.

We have found so much hope in knowing that everything is working out in Heavenly Fathers timing.  He knows specifically what we need.  In those moments when we get impatient and want to speed it along we have been trying to take a step back and look for more lessons that can be learned and enjoy the journey as we go. We know this storm will run out of rain because there is an end to every trial. It's not always easy, but His timing is always the best.
