Thanks for the always timely and encouraging words of hope, Tanner. Been in this season of waiting and trusting and “not yet” for some time… it’s a trying season, but a beautiful season, nonetheless. A season of surrender and purification… Healing and sanctification… and yes, pancakes with good friends and a little more syrup, too.

What a thoughtful, sweet post. I’m in awe of how tender and honest your words are.

It’s hard to live in the tension of already, and not yet. To keep hoping, even in hopes deferred.

Thank you for reminding us all to walk a little slower. To take it all in.

Even if we don’t have all the answers we hope for yet.

Oh, and pancakes. They help for sure ☺️
