Not on Our Time

Patience isn’t an excuse to ease up. It’s trust.

“Every week brings new conversations, new wins, and new opportunities. Stay focused, stay purposeful, and keep leading with value.”

This quote stopped me in my tracks this week.

Read that again. Sit with it for a second.

We do it, don't we? We start keeping score on our own lives; what should've happened by now, what's taking too long, whether something's off. Like the universe owes us a schedule.

Growing up, I heard it said a different way: not on our time, but God's timing. I didn't always get it then. I do now.

Patience isn't an excuse to ease up. It's not permission to let the goal go or step off the gas. It's trust.

Trust that the work works.

Trust that the long days are building something.

Trust that the one more call you make when you're ready to shut it down for the day, it matters.

Because it does.

The stillness you feel when nothing seems to be moving? That's not delay. That's development.

And the part that settles me most is that the One who hasn't missed a single sunrise hasn't forgotten about you. Or what you've been pressing toward. Or what's still coming.

It's gonna be good.

In peace,
Shonn
