Please hold. Wait time is....
How are you at waiting? Don't mean serving 12 full tables during the dinner rush, although that is a skill worthy of respect.
Talking about in other areas of life when nothing seems to be changing, or the changes seem only for worse.
Kat gets into it and shares her own struggles. Take a listen and be sure to visit her site for any content you may have missed.

This one's from the heart.
In a world overcome by bad news and horrific stories, we could all use more encouragement and hope.
This week's blog is Kat's small part. She discusses how she went from great loss to restoration because God still cares and He's not done with you, no matter what it looks like.

Guilt. Shame.
Right and wrong.
