  • The Space Between: Waiting Without Answers

    There are seasons in life when action is everything. When you make the calls, gather the information, consult those who are smarter than you, and pour your energy into doing everything you possibly can. And then, there’s the moment that follows—the shift from doing to waiting. That’s where I am now. It’s not that everything…
