Girls Gone Bible

Summary
Through Proverbs 4:23 and the story of Joseph, the speakers explore how delayed hopes cause genuine heartache—not weakness—and teach that God uses waiting seasons to develop character. Living well through deferred desires means serving faithfully anyway, trusting God's perfect timing, and refusing to let sickness become despair.
Highlights
Through that weariness, there's a difference between being tired and growing weary to the point where you say, I don't wanna do this anymore, I give up. So it's through your weariness, you don't give up.
I'm so grateful that God doesn't give us what we want when we want it, because I did not have the character to be able to be a mother yet. God has been working on my character and building me as a woman for the past coming on four years.
It is in the moments of your deepest sickness in your heart, where you feel the comfort of God, the love of God, and the faithfulness of God.
