God's timing

I thought I knew where the Holy Spirit was leading me because He gave me the words to write a beautiful children’s book. I sat down to write every time I was prompted. The words came so freely, so easily, and the book is/was amazing. But God wasn’t finished working in me. He wasn’t ready for me to have my book released. What could possibly be the hold up when it is quite obvious that He gave me the words? Like so many areas of our lives, we think we know what we’re doing. It’s laughable really! How could I know more than God?

I couldn’t, but I was sure once He gave me the beautiful words, He was finished with me and I was on my own. That’s laughable too, isn’t it? As if there is ever a time when God is finished with us! I should back up and start at the beginning...
