But what of those periods in your life when \u003cem\u003eeverything \u003c\/em\u003eseems on hold? When you can't do the next thing in your professional or personal life because you can't get to it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaiting--be it for health, a life partner, a child, a job--can be an agony. The persistently unrealized goal feels like an endless road. And hope's constant deferment can be exhausting. A firm answer against the thing you're hoping for--\"no\"--might be easier than this constant lack of closure. It might be easier to give it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what if waiting means to be something else? Waiting doesn't have to mean idleness. Our prolonged state of need might teach us to look beyond the desired goal to something infinitely better. We find lessons on this throughout the Bible and, if we are paying attention, in our own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than fostering frustration, periods of waiting might have great truths to tell us. It might show us that hope is worthwhile. Waiting might even be a gift in and of itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Brewster Stevenson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611532744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611532746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Torchflame Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/26\/2019","brand":"Rebecca Brewster Stevenson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068832116991,"sku":"9781611532746","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_964b962a-3e0f-4e96-99cb-fc708f72726c.jpg?v=1685421252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wait-rebecca-brewster-stevenson-9781611532746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
