You know, as we are growing up some of us are taught how to hustle, how to grind, and how to “make it happen”. Some of us just figure it all out on our own because we have no other choice; because if we don’t make it happen, it won’t… but rarely do we learn how to wait.

Waiting isn’t just a passage of time; it’s a physical sensation. It’s the knot in your stomach while you wait for the phone to ring, or the way the days feel longer when you’re stuck in a “not yet” season. This blog is a space for the messy middle – the part of the story where nothing is happening on the outside, but everything is changing on the inside.

So, what do we do with this restless energy of the middle? We learn to sit with it. We stop looking at the clock and start looking at our growth. If everything on the inside is changing, then the time isn’t being wasted—it’s being invested. The question isn’t how much longer we have to wait, but who we are becoming while we do.

We are all waiting for something. A phone call, a change of heart, a new beginning… two pink lines. But think of Joseph in his prison cell – years of silence and cold stone. From the outside, it looked like a life on hold, a story that had stopped. Nevertheless, in the invisible, God was aligning the stars, turning a prisoner into a provider. His “not yet” was actually a “right now” in the eyes of heaven. So while you wait for the world to move, don’t forget to honor the movement happening inside of you. What is your “messy middle” teaching you today? Let’s hold space for each other in the wait.
