The Lord can stop time itself

We all know that the Lord God can do amazing things and those of us that have Faith believe He can truly do anything.

In the last few weeks, I have had several occasions to put my Faith in God that somehow I would have enough time to do the things I set out to do. In these cases, I knew what I was doing was according to His will and His plan, and I just had Faith that there would be enough time to make it happen.

Some examples:

Buying Sunday clothes for my children on a busy Saturday where I already felt like I had no time (this was for the first time my children would have ever gone to Church with me)

Going to a friends' house for a relaxing, leisurely dinner, talking with them, letting my children play while there, and STILL getting back to my home in time for my ex to pick them up (total time spent between leaving my home and returning to my home - one hour. Yes, you read that right!)

Time for following the promptings throughout my day. I can tell you that when I first began to follow my promptings, the most common excuse I heard myself giving for why I couldn't do them was "You don't have the time!" - God made time for me!

Scripture reading. Again, my most common excuse for thinking I can't read scripture is that I think I do not have enough time. I find that the Lord stops time because I will have read a few chapters or an entire book of the Book of Mormon and scarcely a few minutes will have passed...

Time to email or blog or meet with people. Again with the "I don't have the time!" excuse that I keep hearing in my head. The good news is that I have had enough examples of the Lord fitting SO much more into my day than I ever would have been able to without His help that frankly, that excuse is really pretty lame now and I know it. :)

So I am just jumping in and doing what the Holy Ghost reminds me of, safe in the knowledge that God will make time or a way for the rest of my day to happen. This is just one of the many miracles the Lord has given me.
