Of timing and trusting...

My parents got news yesterday that my Dad's hospital appointment with the anaesthetist will be next Thursday, 8th September. He go in for around three hours of different tests which will assess his suitability for the surgery which would remove the part of his intestine where the cancer is. All being well, the operation will be scheduled for sometime fairly soon after that.
This, of course, is the day after I leave for my ministry trip to Africa. I had so much been hoping that Dad would go into hospital when I was still in Europe, and not when I was further away, in Africa. But I know that many of you have been joining me in trusting for God's perfect timing (both for my Dad's hospital appointment there in Scotland, and for my own appointment, here in Spain) and so I can only leave the timing of these things in God's hands. Perhaps Dad's surgery will only happen after I return to Spain again. Please would you pray that my whole family will know God's peace at this time. Thank you.
