Natalie Abbott & Vera Schmitz
If you were our friend, and if we could look you in the eyes and see your struggles and know you fully, and if we could only give you ONE thing—we'd give you God’s Word. There is more power and love and truth in one verse than in a thousand other words. So, let us help you memorize God's words in a simple, easy way. We hope you'll love listening in while we chat about what our verse means, why it matters, and how it intersects with our daily lives.

Dwell #5: Waiting For God - Vera & Natalie
Our verse this month is about following God's path for our lives. But, sometimes following God involves WAITING. And, when we wait we sometimes start to wonder if we are still on the right path, or whether we were called to something different. We wonder why it's taking so long. In this episode Vera Schmitz and Natalie Abbott talk about the struggle of waiting, and how they personally have seen God show up and confirm his calling in specific ways. Vera shares about her and her husband's call to adopt, and the long process of waiting. She tells about how God showed up at just the perfect time to confirm his call on their lives.Support the showFollow Natalie & Vera at DwellDifferently.com and @dwelldifferently.
