Trusting God’s timing and purpose

Often times I don’t understand what God is up to by taking me through things I’d rather not experience and often get frustrated with Him over. Then I’m presented with moments where had I not gone through that experience, I may not have slowed down enough to be quiet and listen to what He’s teaching and not be as equipped to represent Him well when helping someone else walk through their moments of not understanding. Though I don’t claim to always get it right nor am I expecting to always get it right going forward, praying that I would look at these moments to continue to build my trust and faith in Him and His purpose.
