Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're

here. Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions

we have about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships

and self-confidence. About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to

the absolute full. Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we

navigate it together as girlfriends and I cannot wait to get started. So when I first

became a Christian I remember hearing someone say that God answers prayers in one of three

ways. He either says yes, no or not right now. Now I think this insight was supposed

to be helpful but instead it left me more confused than ever. Because especially when

I'm coming up on a gigantic decision or praying for something that I want with my whole

entire heart, I don't want to know what God might say. I want to know what he is saying.

And then as I try to figure it out, I end up acting like an amateur detective as a piece

together clues. I found myself saying things like, okay so I didn't get the job. Does that

mean that God is saying no or not right now or yes but I just need to keep trying? Or

I haven't gotten pregnant yet. So does that mean that God is saying not right now or yes

but we just need to keep trying for a while? Or has God trying to tell me that I'm not

meant to be a mom? Does God say that to people? Is that a thing? Or I really really really

want this relationship to work out? But is this the person that God has for me? How do I

know? And in all of these gigantic life moments, how do we know if faith looks like making

the best decision we can with the information we have and then moving forward? Or if it

looks like stopping and waiting for a clear answer from God before we take another step?

Anyone know what I'm talking about here? Well that's why I'm so excited about today's
