Rebecca George is joining me today to tackle the tricky art of waiting—something that feels way longer than it should in a world that’s constantly rushing forward. We dive into how trusting God's timing (even when it feels like everyone else is ahead) can turn waiting into a season of personal growth and even joy (yes, joy, during the waiting!).
We chat about the dangers of turning desires into idols (oops, we’ve all done it), the importance of gratitude to fight off bitterness, and why comparison is a total thief. Plus, we share how the writing journey is basically the same as waiting for anything else—full of growth, setbacks, and plenty of moments where you just need to trust God.
Here’s a few takeaways from today’s show:
- Trusting God’s timing is key in a world that thrives on instant everything.
- Waiting doesn’t have to be wasted time—it can be a period of growth.
- Gratitude is the secret weapon against jealousy and bitterness.
- Focusing on God’s character, not your circumstances, will help you wait well.
Join us for a laugh and some real talk about waiting well—and don’t forget to share this episode with someone who needs a little reminder that God’s got this (even when it feels like everyone else is moving faster!).
