Ever felt like you’re stuck in a season of waiting? Oh friend, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca George, author of You're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World. Rebecca shares her honest journey of longing, waiting, and learning to trust God’s timing—even when life felt like it was moving without her.

We talk about everything from divine timing (including a sweet story about a prayer bench in the Smoky Mountains!) to what olive trees in Israel taught Rebecca about patience and faith. Plus, we dig into why weakness isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of God's strength shining through.

If you’re in a season of wondering, waiting, or asking “when, Lord?”—this episode will remind you: His timing really is perfect.

Xo,

Donna
