On today’s episode we have the one and only Kate Jensen joining us in my room today. I cannot wait for you guys to meet her. We’ve grown up together and it is such a joy to have her on the podcast. On today’s episode we talk about patience, trusting God’s timing, and we touch on the common myths surrounding waiting and God’s plans for our lives.

quotes mentioned:

Kate

“We can’t get that life that the Lord wants us to have, can’t get that abundant blessing, if we don’t follow God”

“We can choose our own life if we want to … but why don’t we just obey him, and listen to him, and go down that other lifestyle he wants for us, it’s going to be so much better than what we can plan”

“Following God is always going to be a choice that you are going to have to make everyday”

verses mentioned

Romans 6:1-2
- “What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
Matthew 5:13-16
- 13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lamp stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
2 Chronicles 15
- “be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
- 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
