On this episode of Is That Like a Thing podcast, we talk about waiting and waiting well. This episode was recorded before the podcast even began airing, and we have been holding onto it until the Lord gave us a sign that the time was just right. And unbeknownst to ALL of us, our brave Emily has a brand new book about waiting now available for purchase on amazon! (Link below)
This week are thrilled to hear from our producer, Emily Gentiles, on this episode as she waited in a season of infertility only to have it turn out entirely different than she had expected. We really get into the nitty gritty of what it looks like to wait on the Lord and what we do when we don’t actually get the thing we are waiting on. It was SO good, it became a part one and part two situation. 
This episode will encourage you if you find yourself stuck in  a season of waiting, or even if you’re just coming out of one. There is a lot of biblical content shared on this episode (and the next) and we are pumped to share it with you. 
Also, just a quick note— as Becky stated at the beginning of the show, it was recorded in December. We are happy to say that Willa, Magen’s daughter, has gotten a healthy bill of health when it comes to the potentially cancerous spots on her bone. She still has a heart valve stenosis and we continue to pray for her continued healing!
