What do you do when God says ...wait?

FAITH. PURPOSE. ACTION. lEGACY.
Friend! What do you do when God's answer isn't "yes" or "no" - but simply, wait?
This has been the question I've been reflecting on this week.
As a wife, mom, entrepreneur, and visionary leader, I'm used to planning, praying, and then... executing. I enjoy seeing ideas come to life and checking things off my list.
But if I'm being honest, this season has looked different.
God has me in what feels like a waiting room.
Not because He's forgotten me.
Not because He's closed the door.
But because it seems He's teaching me, developing me, and preparing me.
The more I reflect on it, the more I realize that God is deeply invested in the process (not my comfort).
Just as we teach our children that they can't always have what they want immediately, God lovingly teaches us patience, trust, and dependence on Him. Waiting isn't wasted time—it's often where the greatest transformation takes place.
In one of our recent newsletters, I shared the three words God has continually placed on my heart:
Pressure. Process. Purpose.
Pressure has a way of getting our attention.
The process shapes our character and strengthens our faith.
Purpose is revealed as we faithfully walk with God, one step at a time.
So if you find yourself in a season that feels slower than you expected, don't rush through it.
Pay attention.
Ask God what He's developing in you.
Ask Him what He wants you to learn before the next chapter begins.
And most importantly, keep moving forward in faith.
Keep praying.
Keep trusting.
Keep serving.
Keep believing.
Starve your doubts and feed your faith.
| REFLECTION |
Take five quiet minutes this week and ask yourself:
Where is God asking me to slow down instead of striving?
What might He be teaching me during this season of waiting?
Have I been more focused on reaching the destination than allowing God to transform me through the journey?
What is one way I can trust Him more this week?
Write your thoughts in a journal or spend a few moments in prayer.
Remember, waiting is not the absence of God's activity—it is often the place where His deepest work is taking place.
| SCRIPTURE |
"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." — Isaiah 40:31 (ESV)

Final Thoughts 🎉
If you are in a new place .... pray this prayer with me
Father, thank You for reminding me that Your timing is always perfect. Help me to trust You when I don't understand the waiting. Give me eyes to see what You're teaching me, a heart that remains faithful in the process, and the courage to keep moving forward in obedience.
May every season of my life bring You glory and prepare me for the purpose You have planned. In Jesus' name, Amen.
With Purpose,
