☕️ A day waiting 🚙

Yesterday I spent my entire day sitting at starbucks reading #ironflame and waiting for the call from the Good Year across the street, telling me my car was done. I dropped it off at 1000, walked over to #Bagelicious to grab a raspberry danish and a cappuccino and then made my way over to Starbucks to tuck in to a corner and lose myself into a fictional world. I eventually treated myself to a Paradise Drink (no inclusions + 4 pumps of vanilla) and an iced lemon loaf and continued to wait. I finally got my car back a little before 1700 and immediately went home and … finished my book 😄 I was a little annoyed I felt like I wasted my day sitting around but at the same time… who can complain about getting to sit around and read all day?

The Day I Stopped Waiting & Started Becoming✨
I used to wait for the ‘right time’ to step into the woman I wanted to be. I kept telling myself, ‘Once I have more confidence, once I have everything together, once I feel ready…’ But the truth? I was never going to feel fully ready. One day, I had to decide to show up as her now—even if I wasn’t

Day 4: PATIENCE: WAITING WELL
Patience isn’t just about waiting—it’s about how we wait. When things don’t happen on our timeline, we can either trust God or grow frustrated. But patience is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), meaning God strengthens it in us as we walk with Him. 📖 What My Bible Study Taught Me: • God’s
