  1. Amen! I needed this post today! Sometimes I feel like I’m just making each day Instead of really trusting in His timing & enjoying the wait.

  2. Wonderful reminder, Diane. Like how you said, “We are all guilty of putting God in the boxes of our own design. We have a mental picture of how we think God should work and, when that doesn’t happen, we are tempted to jump in rather than waiting on God’s timing and trusting that it is perfect timing.”

    I’ve written on this story with Sarai before and including it as part of a chapter in the book I’m working on. Impatient in the wait, we often take things into our own hands instead of placing them in the able hands of God. 🙂

  3. “We are creating our own Ishmael and then asking God to bless it!” Oh yes, this is me way too many times. Being patient does not come easy to me. Sitting around waiting for God to move can be excruciating yet the best practice. Good news is we have a forgiving God and we can learn to be patient. I am sure I will always be a work in progress, however I am moving forward in trusting God. Great post! Shared it with my friends.
