"This book completely changed how I look at waiting on God. Instead of focusing on what hasn’t happened yet, I began recognizing what God is already doing in my life. It challenged me, encouraged me, and helped me see that some of the most important breakthroughs happen long before our circumstances change."
— Pamela, Early Reviewer, Waiting on Child
From Waiting to Anticipation
Discovering God’s Hidden Work, Breakthroughs, and Purpose While You Wait
You have prayed. You have believed. You have waited.
But the breakthrough you have been hoping for still hasn’t come.
What if God is doing far more in this season than you realize?
In From Waiting to Anticipation, I challenge believers to look beyond the circumstances they are waiting for God to change and recognize the extraordinary work He may already be accomplishing within them.
Waiting creates pressure. It exposes what we trust, what we fear, what we attempt to control, and what still needs healing. It tests our endurance, challenges our beliefs, and creates opportunities for temptation, discouragement, and spiritual battle. Yet these same seasons can become environments for profound transformation as we surrender to God and allow Him to accomplish His purposes in us.
Drawing from Scripture and my own prolonged journey of waiting, I explore how God uses our deepest desires and seemingly unanswered prayers to reveal our hearts, renew our minds, heal hidden wounds, strengthen our faith, transform our character, and deepen our relationship with Him.
Throughout the book, you will discover:
- How God uses desires and the pressure of waiting to reveal what is happening within our hearts
- Why surrender, trust, obedience, and endurance are essential to spiritual growth
- How to recognize and overcome the enemy’s tactics during prolonged seasons of waiting
- The hidden breakthroughs of healing, renewed thinking, Christlike character, and deeper relationships
- How to recognize God’s goodness and faithfulness even when circumstances remain unchanged
- What it means to move from waiting for an outcome to anticipating everything God has for you
This is not a formula for shortening the wait or getting God to give you what you want. It is an invitation to discover what He is doing while you wait—and to participate in His transforming work.
I wrote this book while still waiting for the fulfillment of my own entrepreneurial calling. Yet I discovered that the testimony I was waiting to tell had already begun.
The testimony didn’t begin when my circumstances changed. It began when I changed.
Perhaps the breakthrough you have been waiting for is not the only breakthrough God intends to give you.
Perhaps your life is not on hold.
And perhaps it is time to stop measuring God’s faithfulness by what has not happened and begin recognizing everything He has already done.
Move beyond waiting for something to happen—and begin anticipating everything God has for you.
