"Waiting is Normal in God’s story."

The one thing all of our favorite biblical heroes had in common is they all had enough waiting in their stories to make us wonder if God had completely forgotten about them. Moses, Abraham, Esther, Ruth and even Jesus had to wait a really, REALLY long time for God’s promise to be fulfilled in their lives.

Furthermore, the greater the impact they had in God’s story, the longer most of them had to wait.

The question is not whether or not you’ll have to wait in life, the question is will you waste your waiting or make it count?

The choice is yours.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a friend” 

As daunting as the journey of being fully known and fully loved may seem, if you have breath in your lungs, then you have what it takes. You just have to take the next step. And then the next one after that. 

The choice is yours.
