In this episode of Courageous Retirement, host Vona Johnson shares her thoughts about waiting, which resonates deeply with those who realize that much of life involves waiting, and retirement is not excluded. She draws parallels between this waiting and the anticipation of the Christmas season, making the experience particularly relatable to believers.
Vona highlights the numerous milestones and periods of waiting throughout our lives, from professional goals to personal aspirations. She uses biblical examples to explore how waiting is a significant part of the believer's journey, emphasizing the importance of faith, patience, and trust in God's perfect timing. This emphasis reassures the audience that their waiting is not in vain and instills a sense of hope for the future.
Listeners are encouraged to find joy and purpose in the waiting, and Vona provides practical ways to use this time productively. This advice empowers them to make the most of their seasons of waiting, especially if one is waiting for a loved one to come to Christ.
