In this episode, we talk about trusting God’s timing for your life! We often build artificial timelines for ourselves (get married by XX age, get promoted by XX age, buy a house at XX age…). These timelines can leave us feeling empty and lost when we don’t meet them. These are ways I’ve learned to *try better* at trusting God’s timing for my life MORE than my own, along with some of your personal stories as well.
