What Sarah teaches you
Faith. When God's timing feels too slow, refuse to manufacture your own answer, and trust that He is faithful to finish what He said.
Family. Shortcuts taken in a season of waiting can wound people in your home for years, so wait well together.
Business and calling. Do not rush a vision into a structure God never gave you, because impatient decisions often create the hardest problems later.
