Hey, everyone. This is Dorenda Wilson. Welcome to this week's podcast. If you don't know me already,

I'm married to Daryl, and we have been married for 28 years. We have eight kids, ages 13 to 26, five boys and three girls, and we also have four grandkids.

We've been homeschooling for over 22 years. We've graduated five so far, and we have three still at home.

If you haven't connected with me yet on Facebook or Instagram, you can find me

on Facebook at Dorinda Wilson and on Instagram at Durinda Lee Wilson and also at my blog,

durinda Wilson.com. I have a couple of books. One is published. The other is coming out

January 22nd. If you haven't checked out the unhurried homeschooler,

you can find it on Amazon. It is a simple, mercifully short book on homeschooling, sharing my heart

for a simple homeschool journey that has worked really well for our family and just been a blessing.

And I hope you'll go and check it out

if you haven't read it yet. January 22nd, Grace for, let me start over. I really do know the title

to my own book. It's called Unhurried Grace for a Mom's Heart, a 31 days in God's Word. And it is a devotional specifically geared towards

moms. It's mom-size devotionals that are hopefully doable for moms, but also allow them to really

grow in God's word. My frustration with devotionals over the years has been they either skim the surface

or it's a deep Bible study that I can't keep up with because I had eight children running around

at home. So I decided since I couldn't find it, I would write it. Isn't that what authors do?

So I wrote this book and it's 31 days. So it's something you can maybe go through a couple, three times a year if you want to.

So I hope you'll check that out on Amazon January 22nd.

Well, today I'm going to talk about why waiting on God is never a waste of time.

Are you waiting on God for anything? A job, better relationships,

a friend, provision, direction? It seems as though waiting is a big part of our lives, isn't it? And it's not

easy. Psalm 27, verse 14, says, wait for the Lord,
