That place between the promise and the fulfillment of the promise, let’s call it “the middle.” Amanda Carter reminds us that “Waiting is no joke and not for the faint of heart!” Amanda shares with us how she gets through “the middle” filled with hope waiting on God and His promises. God never fails. Be encouraged that sometimes we have to wait a while but when God comes through, He does it quickly and at exactly the right time. You CAN have abundant life… right in “the middle.”
