What to Expect When We\'re Expecting

We don't like to wait. Especially when change is on the horizon, we'd rather just rush into the change. But growing is waiting, and waiting is an opportunity for faith.

The future can be a scary thing – especially because it doesn’t come with a roadmap. But when God calls us, we rarely get all the details.
