Summary
Stephanie is a book editor by trade who has recently hopped over to the other side of the fence and wrote a book herself! Her book chronicles her adventures in blind dating while waiting for a husband. I wanted to talk about this topic of waiting well because even if you're already married, we're all waiting for something.
What we chat about:
Waiting well for things that seem to come so easily for others How she navigated cross-life-stage relationships Trading prayers when you can't pray for yourself anymore How she learned God loved not the "theoretical" her but her personally
