If you’ve ever been on or around a military base early in the morning or late in the afternoon, you know all too well the feeling of having to stop everything, no matter the importance of the task at hand. Twice each day, the bugle sounds, cars stop driving, and people stop walking. These moments force the busyness to stop, and resets the mind on the mission. 

Is your girl experiencing the frustration of a “forced” pause? Help her find God’s hand in the waiting by turning to Scripture. Together, reflect on how Ruth waited, and how she might have prepared her heart for the future God had in store for her had she known the great joy that was ahead.  

God presses the pause button sometimes, but His timing and His plans are perfect!
