I Don't Wait Anymore: Letting Go of Expectations and Grasping God's Adventure for You

Have you been waiting for life to turn out the way you expected? It's time to stop waiting and jump into the great new adventure before you. God is inviting you into the life you are living now. To let go of expectations of the perfect spouse, career, time, or home. And to turn your face toward Him.

You’re not alone.

There are lots of us out there who feel that way. Grace Thornton is one. She had dreams, plans, and ideas for what life should look like. For one, she thought she’d be married. She thought she’d have kids. She thought God would bring her the life she’d been waiting for because she knew He was good and she tried to be obedient.

But that’s not what happened. Not at all.

So she found herself wrestling with God. Who is He if He doesn’t bring along the life, husband, and 2.5 kids she thought He was supposed to? And where should she go from there?

When she got brutally honest with herself and asked the hard question, “Why do I think the world has more to offer than God does?” the answer was stunning. Her honesty led to the path God had for her. One that would write a story for her life that was even better than the one she had dreamed for herself. 

This positive and encouraging book offers inspiration to anyone who wants to live a fulfilling life right now. Grace decided to let go of her expectations of the way life “should be” and grasp God’s hand for the adventure He had for her. 

You can too.
