You're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing for Your Adoption Story


Listen Later

Welcome to the Called to Love Podcast! 

In this episode, I am joined by a dear friend, author, speaker, and host of the Radical Radiance podcast, Rebecca George. Rebecca is sharing her heart and experiences as we discuss God’s timing and how hard it is to wait. Our hearts are longing, especially in this calling, and that longing isn’t bad but it can easily turn into an idol. So, how do we navigate this God-given longing while honoring Him in the waiting? 

The truth is the longing doesn’t stop even when we’ve reached the point we’ve been praying and waiting for. A new longing takes its place. This is why it is so important we learn how to be present with God in the season He’s put us in right now and trust His timing. 

Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: 

  • You're not too late, trust God's timing.
  • Longing leads to more longing in life.
  • It's important to celebrate others' blessings.
  • You need a support system in your journey.
  • Be honest before the Lord about your desires.
  • Don't miss out on your life today.
  • Learn how to talk about your journey.
  • Your longing is valid and part of your story.
