Four Steps While Waiting
Many times in my life, I had great desires to do more. Be more. Make more of an impact. But, with three small boys and a husband who was away from home eight months a year, I felt stuck in a rut.
I’d create a plan to do something in what I found valuable. Put in a splash of prayer and a pinch of trust in the Lord and run. My arrogance of how I could accomplish it overran my belief that I needed God every step of the way.
Oh, how I love to run ahead with my very well-laid-out plan. My plan, not His. I included Jesus in my list. I searched for the scripture that fit what I wanted. I prayed for it all to come together and fall into place. I’d make a three-to-five-year goal. Then I’d bulldoze my way through life, trying to accomplish it all.
Trusting in God’s faithfulness day by day makes us confident in His great promises for the future.
Putting our hope in God isn’t passive. It’s active. Those who hope in God wait for him, seek him, and receive his discipline.

start small Believe Big Podcast with Billie encourages women to value the significance of small beginnings and believe the immeasurably more God desires to do in and through our lives.
Together, we will learn to value the significance of small beginnings. Value is often seen as immediate and powerful impact. We lose the significance of the small but impactful steps that happen one at a time. A meaningful life begins right where we are; one step, one decision, one action at a time.
Join Billie as we start with the small while believing big, so we can experience more of Christ. It’s time to embrace the significance of small beginnings and believe big.
