Ehhh

I appreciated the authors general message and encouragement. However, I skipped through many of the social injustice messaging that is throughout the book (George Floyd, the situation of the border, etc)

At some point and then one of the later chapters the author mentioned something about a publisher looking for writers that were not staunch conservative but were Christian. that really stood out for me because throughout the book there was this heavy tone of nice liberalism and it was rather weird because I generally consider myself an independent or a moderate, definitely not a staunch conservative Christian. Whoever reads this book, understand that it is heavy with social justice references and that made me put the book down several times only to pick it back up when I was bored or on a long drive with nothing else to listen to. Based on this book, I’m hesitant to read anything else that I have saved in my wishlist by this author.

Full of Gems

As much as we don’t ever want to hear that it’s not our turn, and that we have to wait- Heather Thompson Day explains the ways that God uses this waiting time for our benefit and blessing. It’s almost as if she were directly speaking to me and my circumstances. The stories she shares are very relatable, and helpful. I will be reading it again- this time with a pen and paper to jot down the many gems I want to remind myself of as I wait for my turn.

Humbling but necessary

I sincerely did not want to read this book, it’s not been “my turn” for a while. But I’m in a better place for sticking with it. Now I need to go back and soak it up. Grateful for the author’s work.

Touched my every being

I listened to this three times. I'm inspired to wait and keep pushing while waiting.

A Great Read!

I liked that there were action steps and scripture verses to memorize. It is a very practical book filled with real life stories that inspired me. I'll be listening to it again!

Fabulous Book

Loved this book so much I am gonna listen to it again. I may buy the paperback so I can underline portions.

An interesting listen

This book definitely challenged my faith in more than one way.

I wish when referencing social justice issues in the us the statements were more soundly based in facts, but her point was still made.

I did like how she talked about her relationship with God and how she found his love and how it’s our purpose to love. She gives a lot of sound advice on what to do in the waiting and realizing that God has a plan and we can work on our patience muscle

Encouraging Read!

I’ve truly enjoyed reading this book. There were so many insightful tips that I’m committing to memory. I’m inspired to continue pursuing my goals. I feel better equipped to remain diligent while waiting for my breakthrough. I’m going to purchase a hard copy so I can highlight and remember my favorite points. Wonderful book!

What a powerful encouraging book!

This book is so amazing! This is my second time listening through and I cannot say it enough - this book can reach many people in many different phases in life.
For the millennial who turns on social media and feels left behind. For the struggling Christian, or the discouraged stay at home or working mom. THIS IS A BOOK FOR ALL!

Profound in the Simplest Ways

What Heather has written in this book automatically makes sense to me in retrospect. In my lowest moments of it not being my turn, I’ve tried to grasp at the things she’s written. But I just didn’t have the capacity to understand or formulate them for myself. But soon after starting the book, I realized that Heather had shown up to do the heavy lifting. Incredibly grateful for that.

The amount of healing I’ve found in this book is actually overwhelming.

I hope I never stop learning from Heather. From sitting in her classroom pre-Covid to reading this book, I am so proud of my former professor. Thank you Heather for partnering with me on a journey you didn’t even know I was on.

Now, let me go restart this audio from the top. 🏃🏽‍♀️
