Finishing up this series on singleness, dating, and marriage - with this episode and this is going to be another great listen.

I am so excited to introduce you guys to Caroline Schandel. Caroline is a brilliant speaker, Bible teacher,  writer, and podcaster on her show “The Breathing Room” where she uses the word of the Bible and encourages women to experience God in their everyday.  She is the author of two books: Live Here, Love Now, an E-book you can download, and Good Things Come that just released in 2019. I LOVE THAT.  In today’s episode we’re talking about waiting. We talk about navigating through the tension of hoping something will happen that hasn't, choosing to invest ourselves to grow into the women we are created to be, and trusting that God is in the middle of it all even when we are uncertain of the outcome.  Friends, if you’re waiting on something today —  a spouse, a move, a positive pregnancy test, a change — this episode is for you. God is taking care of us and I’m praying that you walk away from this episode believing that more than ever.
