Does it sometimes feel like God’s timing doesn’t make sense?

Katy McCown always knew she was called to write but she didn’t expect to get the green light when she was eight months pregnant with her sixth child. Today she is the author of two Bible studies, 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 DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU.

I hear so many women talk about not having time to pursue their dreams. I get it; life is full. Whether you’re caring for kids, a home, aging parents, yourself (or all of the above) or maybe you’re pursuing education, a career, a paycheck—whatever it is that will help you provide for yourself and your family—all of these responsibilities carry significant demands. It’s no wonder you’re finding it difficult to dream.

However, each one of us wakes up with the same number of hours in a day. The question is, how do we choose to use the limited time we’ve been given, not to do every. single. thing. but to be intentional with the few things God has given us for 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, 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,
The temptation 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
The fruit that grows when you allow rejection to draw you into deeper trust in the Lord and how he uses it for your good and his glory.
