Out of Order

So the last 30 days have been one giant "Out of Order" sign in my life.  I feel like everything is not working for me or the way I thought it would work out for me.  But today was a serious culmination.  I went to the gym and was listening to my ipod while doing my work out (I don't usually listen to music) and I was really into the music.  I changed machines and kept trying to make the leg portion move out so I could do the exercise and it wouldn't move.  I must have sat there for 2-3 minutes trying to get that thing to work.  Then the elderly man sitting on the machine next to me taps me on the shoulder and points to the sign directly in front of my face that says, "OUT OF ORDER."  I lost it.  I just started cracking up.  He must of thought I was nuts.  I think I was for a brief moment.

You see I have been trying to make everything work in my life to the way I want it.  But I feel like God has put a temporary hold on things and He is moving me and my family in a different direction.  I need to just look at the giant sign in front of my face and back off.  God has reasons for His "delays" in our life.  I know from experience that it usually means He has something much better then what I ever expected.  Today I need rest a little more in knowing that there are reasons for all things.  We might not see it today (or even tomorrow) but He will reveal it in His timing.
