Hey there, lovely souls,

It's Pastor Erica, and I'm so excited to connect with you through these words. Today, I want to dive into a topic that resonates with all of us: waiting. Life's full of moments where we're in a holding pattern, eagerly anticipating what's next. But what do we do during those times? How do we find peace in the waiting?

Step 1: Embrace Patience

Patience, a word that's often easier said than done. In a world of instant gratification, waiting feels like an eternity. But guess what? It's during this season that we grow, learn, and discover the beauty of divine timing. So, let's embrace patience as a virtue and remind ourselves that God's timing is always perfect.

Step 2: Surrender to God

Surrender, a word that might carry a sense of vulnerability. But it's in surrender that we find strength. Let's release our plans, fears, and anxieties into the hands of the Almighty. God is pursuing us with His peace, and when we surrender our desires, we open the door to His divine plan. It's a beautiful exchange of control for divine guidance.

Step 3: Pray and Empathize

While we're navigating our waiting season, let's not forget that others around us might be on a similar journey. Prayer and empathy are powerful tools. Lift those around you in prayer, and offer your understanding and support. In doing so, we create a network of love and care that strengthens us all.

In the midst of it all, remember that waiting isn't a waste of time. It's a season of preparation, growth, and transformation. God's delays are not His denials, and His silence doesn't mean absence. He's working in you and through you, molding you into the person you're meant to be.

So, embrace the waiting with faith. Trust in His perfect timing, and find peace in the knowledge that every moment counts. We're on this journey together, and I can't wait to see what lies ahead.

May you find the peace you seek in the waiting, and may your faith continue to grow stronger with each passing day.

With love and blessings,

Pastor Erica 🙏❤️
