Sometimes God‘s timing just does not make sense to us. When hard situations last way too long and our deepest prayers seem to go unanswered, we often wonder, “What is God doing?”

But thankfully, the Bible is full of people who have experienced the same thing. They had to learn to trust God‘s ways and His timing, and their stories can help us trust God too.

Ripe for the Harvest, an Abundance of Grace – FGF Highlights, Fargo, ND

When we woke up on Saturday morning in Fargo, the air was a crisp 16° and there was a snowy landscape that shimmered in the moonlight. Even though the sun was just barely shining, the moon was still on display—full, bright, and absolutely huge!

I’ve shared some of these things before from the stage at my Fresh Grounded Faith events and on my podcast when I spilled the beans about blindness.
