25. An Invitation to Hope: How to Navigate Seasons of Waiting

"Like enduring a cold winter, waiting for life to happen can feel long, lonely and agonizing.  But winter also carries a hidden beauty: Life is being preserved an dstored away to be revealed in a later season."  - Barb Hill If you find yourself feeling hopeless in a long season of waiting, today's episode is for you!  My guest today is Barb Hill.  Barb is a licensed therapist and the founder of Holding Space Counseling with a specialty in trauma. She holds an undergraduate degree in biblical studies and has a masters in clinical mental health counseling.  As a therapist, Barb recognizes the importance that faith and mental health have in our lives and she is passionate in the pursuit of bridging these two important worlds.   Barb is the author of Seasons of Waiting, which is a 52 week devotional book with daily prompts helping you process and work through week.  Today, she shares with us a particularly her journey through a long season of waiting and how the Lord used it to birth this very powerful and practical book.  Barb compares our experiences in waiting to the physical seasons we walk through each year.  It is truly fascinating and a very helpful tool to identify where you are in waiting and how to lean in to each season, allowing the Lord to work, as He is always faithful to do. I believe you, like me, will find Barb's story and wisdom offers both the help you need and the comfort you desire.   Follow Barb here! https://www.instagram.com/barbs_hill/ Check out her book here: barbhillauthor.com
