Sixteen years. One promise. And a waiting season that nearlyconvinced Lehua Tandel that God had forgotten her.
In this episode, I sit down with one of my dear friends, Lehua, to talk about what it looked like to wait sixteen years for a promise from God to be fulfilled.
But this conversation is about so much more than finally holding the baby she prayed for.
We talk about the dark years. The disappointment. Miscarriage. The seasons when she stopped praying for the thing she wanted because hoping again felt too painful. We talk about the prophetic words that reopened her heart to hope, the nine months of waiting that followed, and what God was doing in her through every season in between.
Lehua is incredibly honest about the moments she questioned God's goodness and even His love for her—and how Jesus continued drawing her out of religion and into relationship with Him.
If you're waiting on God for something right now, especially if you've reached the place where protecting your heart feelssafer than hoping again, I think there is something for you at this table.
Because sometimes God answers differently than we expected. Sometimes the waiting lasts far longer than we ever imagined. And sometimes, while we're asking Him when the promise is coming, He's inviting us into something even deeper: Himself.
Grab your coffee and pull up a chair. 🤎
