I like things to be the same length

So i realise that the last post tht i did about bloggers and indeed my own arrogance was a bit harsh. And I apologise to those who read it.
There was something that was on my mind yesterday as I was cooking my dinner...a good friend of mine has an album of songs called adventures in lofi - a collection of unfinished songs.
And it ocurred to me...is there ever such a thing as an finished work or piece of art? For example...a painting isn't called a work of art until its finished and can be appreciated in its fulness. A song isn't called finished until its finished...until then its a group of ideas...ideas of verses, choruses etc.
So then I ask...what therefore is life? A collection of verses, choruses and brush strokes? Phillipians 1 v 6 says 'And I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again.'
What can be taken from this? I suppose that life is a series of brush strokes and as the painter and grand designer, God chooses where and when things go and they are masterful strokes.
One thing that came up in church a couple of weeks ago when we had a guest speaker in from Bath was that God is never early nor late, but ALWAYS on time.
One thing that I as a christian need to do is trust that God will come through with impeccable timing...it works. But our modern culture has turned us into a generation and people that want things when we demand them. I'm certainly guilty of it. We all however have the opportunity to trust God with each day in both small and large things.
Trust is hard to give but easy to recieve.
