God's Timing is PERFECT

Well...I just spoke with the surgery scheduler at the surgeon's office and Tom's surgery has been scheduled for Friday, October 14th!  Yes, this is a week away and not what we prayed for, however we trust God's timing is perfect and He will lead us through this next week as we are patient.
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord,
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:8-9
As I was praying and spending time in God's Word this morning I was reminded of the song:
"While I'm Waiting"
by John Waller
We praise the Lord for His hand of protection over Tom's brother, Tim.  He had a successful appendectomy in Belgium and now he too, along with his family...WAIT...for healing and his return to Florida.  That will be a sweet reunion...with hopefully gentle hugs around his tender tummy! 
Zac and Sarah had safe travel to Columbus late last night.  They were up early and on the road again today heading to Richmond, Virginia for the wedding Zac is in.  We will get to see them again on Sunday as they pass back through Columbus.  We are thankful for the "snippets" of time whenever we can get them.
On a lighter note...Matt is playing intramural softball at MVNU.  Last night their team (basketball guys) won and Matt went 5 for 5 with two doubles!  We're so proud of him...praying his grades will also have "hits".
Holding on to hope...

So glad to hear that Tim came through his surgery. We will be praying for the entire Anglea family as you all are in God's "waiting room". Way to go, Matt...5 for 5 with two doubles...maybe you should try out for the MVN baseball team!! :) Love to all of you!
