I've never minded solving difficult problems. In fact, I rather enjoy them. But some problems refuse to be solved on my timeline. They can only be lived through. Waiting has always been the hardest part for me. I'm slowly learning that it isn't simply what happens before the real story begins—it is part of the story. Looking back, some of God's deepest work in my life has happened in those in-between spaces where there was nothing left to do but trust Him.
