Why his timing isn't our timing?

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good Evening, 
this post should take approximately four to seven minutes to read from start to finish.

This post focuses on his timing, not our timing. I would like to ask some simple following questions. You may or may not want to ask yourself those questions either now or in your free time.

Why is the Lord's timing isn't our timing? Why does Heavenly Father gets us to wait for his timing at times? Do we ever feel getting impatient with the Lord's timing at times?

We may or may not think that the Lord's timing can be so confusing at times and we don't understand why we have to wait. We may or may not acknowledge the blessings that do come from waiting for the Lord's timing. It is a natural mankind for an individual to be caught up and feeling impatient with the Lord's timing at times.
"Although his time is not always our time. We can be sure that the Lord
keeps his promises." - Henry B. Eyring.
As growing up during my teen ages, I was definitely looking forward to serve a full-time mission. I even remembered how excited I was feeling and felt that I was doing the right thing to submit the full-time mission papers. I was looking forward to receive the letter in the mail from the Prophet in Salt Lake, Utah at the time to find out where I would be called to serve, where and when do I get to report to the Missionary Training  Center {MTC}.

Sadly; after years and years after submitting the full-time mission papers, I found out that the full-time mission papers has not been submitted. I was devastated, frustrated and instantly cried. I definitely was in a shock and wasn't prepared to resubmit the full-time mission papers because I was already dedicated to the next stage of my life to commit at the time.

Heavenly Father's timing often has been the bestest blessings that I have ever received. I seemed to look back at multiple occasions and be grateful that I was able to achieve as much as I can prior to meeting my husband. I would like to share some wonderful examples of the things that I am proud of and accomplished throughout the years prior to meeting my husband. Those examples are listed below.

I graduated high school successfully, I participated and graduated seminary successfully, I participated many institute classes and graduated institute successfully, I attended Temple preparations class, I received my endowments, I obtained my drivers' licence, I survived from my first car accident on my own, I became an independent and lived away from home, I relied on myself for making many righteous decisions, and the list goes on and on. 

Prior to meeting husband, I have been through moments that has taught me a lot of lessons focuses on the Lord's timing. I have felt impatient with the Lord's timing because I used to want things to happen the way that I wanted them to. For an example, I would like to be married either when I was twenty years or twenty-one years but I didn't ever expected that I would get married at twenty-three years. 

I have experienced of times when I wasn't kneeling down and saying meaningful personal prayers. I seemed to lost my trust with Heavenly Father. I often felt that I have given up a lot even at times when I seemed to be okay.   

I absolutely do know that I have been truly blessed and happy to be married to my husband. I do know that some things are worth waiting for especially in the Lord's timing. We can always find ways to show patience with the Lord's timing. 
Stay Tuned until next time.
