Part II

I was driving under the Kansas sky tonight amidst a blanket of royal purple and deep magenta which served as the backdrop for the twinkling stars. It was beautiful. I wasn't sure how it was possible that it was nine o'clock at night because the sunset colors should have already faded from the night's sky and been replaced with a black sheet, but somehow they still remained.

The funny thing is, I couldn't not smile. It was beautiful. And I couldn't help it.

I feel like my hope is slowly being restored. Not because of any specific events or circumstances unfolding, but just because of the peace I somehow have outside of my own doing.

I think I trust God more than I give myself credit for. But how boastful and prideful am I to think that I would ever know what is best for me, let alone someone else as far as God's perfect timing regarding marriage for either of us? Who am I to say I'm ready anyway? And how can I be so demanding sometimes?

God hasn't forgotten us. He gives us above and beyond what we could think or ask for. And that includes his perfect timing.
