How can we wait productively for the big things in life? 

Mayra & Emily discuss the power of waiting well for what’s best for you. They talk about the intuition and conviction behind patience, particularly waiting on the Lord during difficult seasons. “Patience is the posture of the heart while you wait.” This includes being hopeful while single, getting back up after being discouraged, and believing that the plans for your life will be good. Ask yourself what is underneath the desires that you have & what is driving the questions that you are asking. Wait until the person in front of you aligns with those underlying needs, don’t settle at the first sign of something similar to it. Maintain your sense of identity & worth in the waiting so you are ready when your person arrives in your life; Avoid the trap of comparing yourself to someone else’s journey! Wait with your whole being, grieve when it doesn’t come, but focus on the morning that’s coming.
