The title of this post comes from a chapter in Dominique Ansel's book where he expounds on the importance of patience in creating the perfect cannelé: the copper molds have to be seasoned with beeswax multiple times, the ingredients have be mixed slowly, the batter has to rest for 24 hours, and the molds have to be rotated every 15 minutes during baking. You can't take shortcuts.
In the same way, I have to keep reminding mind myself that God's timing is perfect. Just as He is sovereign over what happens, He is also sovereign over when and how things happen. Not so fun for the insecure control freak in me.
But if I had my way, I would be fulfilling all of my desires right now, and not learning how to cherish the present moment and to have a thankful heart.
