The Weight of The Wait Day Four – The In-Between
Because the stinky in-between matters...
Hey Brave Hearts for Christ,
You’re not stuck, sis. You’re stationed. What’s the difference? One is usually a result of something we’ve done – not moving forward because of fear, not obeying God’s instructions and expecting a new one or simply not doing anything at all. The other is God ordained.
It’s that time after you take the leap from your job or you started building the business, yet nothing seems to be happening afterwards. You know you did everything God told you to do. In fact, you aren’t only stationed, but there seems to be all kind of hell breaking loose at the station.
Listen, I get it. The in-between sucks. It really does. God isn’t expecting for me to sugar coat this thing. However, being stationed has huge benefits. Since I know many of my single ladies are believing for their God-given mate, I’ll use this as an example for today’s challenge.
Here’s what I do love about being stationed: This means God is holding us still for unique reasons. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you aren’t ready. When you see a train sitting at a station, you may automatically assume that it’s because something is wrong with it. But what if something was wrong up ahead, at the next station?

And that’s the beauty of being stationed. Maybe God is working on your future husband’s heart. Let me get personal for a minute. The Lord revealed to me that one of the things he was doing in my future husband’s heart, was making sure that he won’t run from my love.
That means God knows that I’m ready to love him, but he has to prune and prepare him more so that he can handle the weight of my love. Why? Because men too can pray for things but end up self-sabotaging if they aren’t ready.
Being stationed prepares the blessing for us. It prepares the heart of Pharoah to receive the anointing of Joseph. You don’t just need the blessing you’re waiting on. It needs you, too. So, take glory in the in-between. Whether God has you stationed because He’s removing danger up ahead or He’s prepping that person/thing for you, use the in-between to stay prepared and stay in God’s presence.
Your next station just might be “Manifestation Station”.
