God's time is time

This is an odd sounding proverb in English, I must admit. It is something that the Watchi people say often when an event has occured after a long wait or has happened surprisingly quick. I have grown to like the phrase because of the honor I feel it shows God in aknowledging his soveriengty. The Kabiye team who are based out of Kara, Togo are celebrating the arrival of their new teammates Brett, April, and Caden Emerson. The Emerson family have waited, planned, prayed, and waited some more over the last several years to come and work with the Kabiye, and now they've arrived. They stopped by our house in Tabligbo along with the Reeves family for an overnight visit on their way to their new home in Kara. It was amazing just seeing them on Togo soil after all this time and I am excited about the impact God will have on the Kabiye through them and the encouragement that their arrival will bring the team in Kara. I guess it was God's time.
