SUMMARY:Waiting on the Lord in your Writing | Deb Brown
DESCRIPTION:“Waiting on the Lord” is an encouraging message that invites you to see your waiting seasons not as wasted time\, but as sacred preparation. Through a blend of Scripture\, storytelling\, and practical application\, this talk explores how God is always at work—shaping your life from the inside out. Using the framework of loving God with our whole being (Mark 12:30)\, the message unpacks four powerful ways we can partner with Him in the process: surrendering your heart\, seeking with your soul\, sharpening your mind\, and serving with strength. With relatable examples and biblical stories\, you will be inspired to take meaningful\, practical steps in your own faith journey. Rather than simply waiting for God to move\, you will be challenged to prepare—trusting that He is using every season to develop your character\, clarify your purpose\, and strengthen your faith. This message leaves you with renewed hope\, a sense of direction\, and the confidence that God is faithfully writing every chapter of your story.      \nPresenter Bio:  Deb L. Brown is an Amazon bestselling author who writes stories that explore loyalty in marriage and faith in God in the face of life’s challenges. A member of American Christian Fiction Writers and Women’s Fiction Writers Association\, her books handle heavy issues with a touch of humor. Her debut novel\, To Have and to Hold\, is a finalist in the ACFW Carol Awards for the Debut Author category. She’s mom to her five children and Graham Cracker to her grandchildren.
