Inspired by a personal moment of encouragement—a small donation toward her summer camp—she reminds us that even small signs can be proof that God is still working.With scriptures from Proverbs 13:12 and Romans 15:13 (NIV), we’ll explore how to keep our faith alive when we’re worn out from waiting. Your hope is not in vain, and God sees every step of your journey.If you would like to make a donation to our Summer Camp program, use the link and donate today.https://5cdcbe.myshopify.com/collections/all#VitalStatistics3 #WhyNotWait #WordWednesday #FaithAndGrowth #GodsTiming #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualEncouragement #Hope
