Ep 252 You're Not Too Late with Rebecca George

I think a lot of folks want to know that they are not too late—they don’t even know if what they are waiting for is the best thing—they just know they are still waiting. Join author, speaker, podcaster, Rebecca George and me as we talk about my not so favorite topic: waiting. And what we learn in the wait and how to wait like a good child of God. Rebecca's second book, You’re Not Too Late: Trusting God’s Timing in a Hurry-up World just released and she will be giving away a copy all this week.

Maybe the next time we find ourselves waiting again, we can look down deep into ourselves and see who God wants us to become in the wait.

Some gems from our conversation:

• I don't want to focus on what God has for me more than focusing on God, Himself—His love, mercy and grace.
• God grants us unique life experiences so that we know Him better and share Him with our world.
• Despair can be a gift when I use that pain and uncertainty to press in closer to God. 
• True joy comes from appreciating the here and now. 
• It's hardest for me to surrender when I've elevated my desires to a place of prominence that is meant for God alone.
• Knowing there is so much more that we don't know can give us peace, even joy, in the waiting periods of life.
• When we allow our painful circumstances to define the character of God we get into trouble.
• Our hearts love certainty and that love can become an idol.
