Some would say it is following God blindly, and while there is nothing wrong with that as God will never steer you wrong, there is also something like following God with hope and anticipation of all the great things we know He will do but often is beyond what we can imagine. Let\u2019s not get wrapped up in life so much that we lose that hope, that anticipation. When we are burdened with life itself to the point that is all we can focus on, we will tend to lose that hope. Let\u2019s not go through life mundanely and methodically but let\u2019s go through life being God\u2019s hands and feet and looking for opportunities to help further His Kingdom. God is going to do great things today, lean into it, expect it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFaith is a surrendered heart, a heart that prays and thanks God while waiting for His answer.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;-Abigail Conway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo us, waiting is wasting.
