Summary
Seems we all have lots of meantime when we are waiting for something to happen when we will be happier or freer or more fulfilled. I have learned that waiting for any other circumstance or person to fulfill all the felt needs of your life is a wrongly directed expectation. It is a process to learn, but only as we learn how to flourish in all those meantimes when we are waiting, (for a spouse, for enough money, for children or for children to be out of diapers or out of teenage hormones, or a new house or whatever), it is possible to flourish. Today, I am speaking about how to flourish while you are waiting. I have learned it over many years and was not always patient, but it has served me well.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest |
| 0:13.0 | privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every |
| 0:18.6 | week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad |
| 0:24.6 | that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:36.8 | Hi friends, it's Sally Clarkson and I'm so happy to be with you today. I am sitting in my |
| 0:43.4 | sweet daughter Sarah, my oldest daughters, house here in the Sussex area and hopefully two babies |
| 0:53.4 | are asleep right now, Samuel and little Lillian and it's the middle of the day. It's morning |
| 0:59.4 | nap time, late morning nap time and I just am so delighted to be with you. You would probably |
| 1:06.9 | laugh if you were a professional podcaster because I call my trip and just my lifestyle have |
| 1:14.9 | podcaster will travel. I podcast on trains on, I'm sitting in an overstuffed chair right |
| 1:22.8 | now bent over trying to talk into my microphone which is very near a box that my computer is |
| 1:30.9 | sitting on and you're probably going to hear the man next door who is welding his fence. Every once |
| 1:37.3 | in a while he uses his some kind of welding machine that sounds like it's some kind of a truck |
| 1:42.3 | and I thought well I need to talk anyway but imagine with me also that I have recorded four times |
| 1:50.4 | and nothing recorded and I did the same thing that I've always done. Do you have those opportunities |
| 1:58.2 | in life where you figure your life out and you kind of have it all in place and then something changes |
| 2:04.9 | or something doesn't work? Well I think that's what all of us probably do from time to time and |
| 2:11.9 | I thought oh what am I going to speak about today because I've had so many thoughts lately but I |
| 2:16.8 | think I'm going to call this particular podcast in the meantime or what to do in the meantime or |
| 2:22.8 | contentment in the meantime or flourishing in the meantime because I really think that we all |
| 2:29.8 | have these aspirations or thoughts or ideas of what life is going to be if you know sometimes when |
