God has established a unique timeline for each person. Our lives are similar to fruit-bearing trees. Different kinds of fruit ripen and mature at different times and seasons.

Is God waiting for you to embrace your divine delay?

I want to take you on a journey of discovery where you’ll begin to understand the heart of God regarding his sovereign timing for your life.

Divine delays occur when the desire of a person’s heart is withheld for a period of time, and it will only be released at God’s appointed time.

In a world of fast-food meals, high-speed Internet, and quick solutions, waiting is tough. Sometimes, if we don’t get a quick answer to our problems and pressures—wanting a child, a mate, healing, a new job, or even a more fulfilling spiritual life–we feel stuck. Where is God? Has he forgotten us? No, God has not forgotten! Continue to draw near to him. You may be caught in a “divine delay,” a time of waiting that holds a purpose and God's promises. Learn from the biblical stories of men and women who persevered in waiting on God. Discover how to survive and thrive in your spiritual growth.  Don't waste your waiting!

What's God Waiting For?

 

Bible Teacher, Wife, Mom, Mentor, Creative, Director

 

A love for life, family, kingdom work, deep friendships, and the transformative power of faith in God are important anchors in this unpredictable world. Delving into the sacred pages of Scripture can bring stability and immense joy. For me, sharing its profound narratives is an amazing privilege. God's word is the greatest story ever written, ever told, and ever lived.

I have had the great honor of sharing God's Word for many years at different churches, Christian schools, Bible colleges, seminaries, women's conferences, leadership events, and with people in different life stages. But you know where my heart also lives? The local church. David and I were sent out to shepherd Christ Church more than 30 years ago, and it's been quite an amazing ride.

 

My days are full, wearing a few hats: writing, mentoring, overseeing worship and arts, being on the teaching team, and leading our women's discipleship programming, all keep me engaged. Whatever the task, I aim to be intentional – with a good dose of laughter, of course.

Partnering with David and our team of gifted men and women also makes this way of life meaningful. It's a mix of intentional moves and spontaneous left turns but I do my best to hold on and embrace the journey. Your life is probably similar.

 

So, come along, and let's love the ride together!
