Hope When You’re in a Holding Pattern – waiting feels long, but it’s not wasted.
Holly walks through powerful Bible stories of long waits — Abraham & Sarah (25 years for a promise), Joseph (13 years in slavery & prison), David (15 years between anointing & throne) — and how God used those in-between seasons to build character, trust, and deeper faith.

Scripture highlights:
- Isaiah 40:31 — “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength”
- Psalm 27:14 — “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart”
- Habakkuk 2:3 — “Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come”
- Lamentations 3:25 — “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him”

Real-life encouragement for Christian women today:
- Waiting for a job, healing, relationship breakthrough, or answered prayer
- How to keep hope alive when delays feel endless
- Practical ways to stay anchored: naming a promise, speaking truth, gratitude in the small, resting in the “meanwhile”

Perfect for anyone in the in-between, feeling stuck, or tempted to give up — hope is cultivated right here.
