I go into my comforting mode and assure her that it is God\u2019s perfect timing that we show up at the time she needs us. It is by no accident that we get to be the ones to assist her. We know that. We calm her by praying with her. I tell her we are thrilled to be Good Samaritans to her. She says, \u201cOh, I must not be a Good Samaritan because I don\u2019t think I could do what you are doing. I\u2019m not as kind as you are. I wouldn\u2019t stop to help someone, but I am a Christian.\u201d She tells me where she goes to church. I reply: \u201cYou will be a Good Samaritan, too, because the example is set for you today by our getting to help you.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We refuse to leave her alone. She is immensely concerned that she is spoiling our day \u2013 especially for Alexia. We assure her she is not. Soon her daughter shows up, along with the locksmith. As we are handing her over to the others, she pulls out $100 and asks Staci to give it to Alexia. We refuse to take it but she is insistent with tears in her eyes. Staci explains to her that last night they prayed that Alexia would be blessed today with extra money for some great deals we\u2019ll find \u201cthrift store shopping\u201d (Alexia’s absolute love as she gets name-brand items, redesigns them, using the sewing machine I bought her for her birthday last year). I’m so proud of her skills and wise-spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took him soup and popovers. He gives us a grand tour \u2013 perfect for photo opportunities. After that, we head to the thrift stores and Alexia is delighted with her finds. She\u2019s not ashamed at all of thrift sale buying \u2013 she knows a deal when she finds it. It was a God-perfect-timing day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nI share this exhaustive story with you today because I want to emphasize that God is not just the God of time and eternity\u2026He is the God of timing. When we take on our daily roles as His servants on a mission each time we step out of our homes, we are clocking in to God\u2019s assignments, set-ups, not only getting to give and be His hands and feet extended, but we are positioned for His blessings to land on us when we least expect it. Maybe it’s time to clock-in to His schedule — get in-sync with God’s perfect timing. It\u2019s a great place to live, walk, talk, and be His ambassadors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My two mini-me\u2019s and I planned all week for this day. It is girls-day-out. The husband\/dad is out of town, so it is a perfect set-up. But, first order of the day is taking Emma (their Yorkie) to the vet to see after a little health issue. That sets us back on getting to Neiman\u2019s…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14296,12795,14295],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gods-time","category-gods-timing","category-perfect-timing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10745"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10753,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10745\/revisions\/10753"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Payton-Business-Card.jpg\")
