Sometimes God’s timing does not make sense in our limited perspective. Katy McCown always knew she was called to write but she didn’t expect God to give the green light when she was eight months pregnant with her sixth child. Today she is president of She Laughs Ministries, a writer for Proverbs 31 Ministries, and a national speaker. Through all life’s uncertainties and surprises, Katy has learned some things about “living sure” even when the future is not.
IF TRUSTING GOD SEEMS HARD RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.
I hear so many women say they don’t have time to pursue their dream. But the reality is that we all have the same amount of time in each day. The question is, how will you choose to use the limited time you have been given, not to do every single thing but to be intentional with the one thing God has given you to do today?
Or maybe you are the dreamer who is questioning whether you’ve heard God wrong because your dream isn’t turning out the way you imagined it would.
Or rejection has been so much a part of your story, that it hurts to the core of your being,
If any of this sounds familiar, you’ll want to listen as Katy and I talk about:
What it looks like to have significant demands upon your time and still be faithful to your dream day after day.
How tempting it is to take things into your own hands when you don’t see the fruit of your labors in the timing you expect (and what to do instead).
And finally, what happens when you let rejection draw you into deeper trust in the Lord and how he uses it for your good and his glory.
