Mary Spencer has a powerful message for all age groups. The “Not yet” is eerily familiar refrain for those of us who love control and are children of a loving Father who always answers perfectly and on time. Thank you for sharing Mary Spencer’s writings. Her book Cul-de-Sac Crossroads is a must read!

This post was so beautiful and thoughtful! The tension of the “not yet” seasons can hold such significance if we allow it to. Thanks for sharing this story!

Thank you so much Bekah! I totally agree, the "not yet" seasons are always gifts in hindsight and I'm trying to remember that in the present too.

Amen Bekah! It is so true. We can view waiting as something that happens to us or we can be active and intentional in our waiting seasons.

I wholeheartedly agree! This message has been something the Lord has been quietly uprooting in my life over the past several years. So very timely and true 🤍

Loved this one! Have you connected with Yelena Shermeta? She wrote a book on the topic of singleness and faith. I really loved the devotions and insight she has overall and think you’d both benefit from connecting!
