Remember God's Timing is Perfect

The last 24 hours have been very interesting. Yesterday I had an urgent call from my doctor that my white blood cell count was elevated and I needed to go to the lab and have more blood drawn. I am so glad we switched doctors and now the doctor and the lab is just down the road! So I raced up there and got the test. This morning they called and said it wasn't as high but still elevated enough that he was concerned about me having surgery Friday - but if I would get a chest x-ray and it was clear and I would start an anti-biotic he would okay the surgery. So off I went again to the lab and then to the drugstore. I haven't heard the outcome yet. In the midst of all this I keep thinking about the song the group I sing with just sang at church..."Wait on the Lord". One of the lines says "His ways are perfect, His timing is sure". I so much want to be in control. First I wanted the surgery to be later in the month - then when the doctor insisted on this Friday and I am facing the possibility of it being postponed I am irritated! So I have been singing the song to myself all day and reminding myself that God's timing throughout my whole life HAS been perfect - so why should it be any different now? So as I wait, I am thankful that God not only has everything having to do with the surgery in control - He already knows the outcome! Praise His Holy Name!
