About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of trusting God's timing in personal growth and overcoming feelings of being overlooked or delayed.

Delayed doesn’t mean denied. And just because it’s not happening fast doesn’t mean it’s not happening at all. Dear World started in 2018. I was heartbroken, discouraged, and trying to find something good in the middle of my mess. No big plan. No fancy launch. Just a girl, a mic, and a whole lot of pain she was trying to turn into purpose. Truth is? It’s still small. And some days, that’s frustrating. Especially when you watch others go viral overnight while you’re building brick by brick. But Isaiah 60:22 reminds me: “The smallest one will become a thousand… I, the Lord, will make it happen in its appointed time.” God’s timing ain’t rushed. But it’s right. So if you’ve been feeling behind, overlooked, or lowkey forgotten—this episode is for you. 🎧 “Delayed, Not Denied: Trusting God When Growth Feels Slow” Let’s talk about it. 🩵 #DearWorldPodcast #FaithInTheProcess #DelayedNotDenied #Isaiah6022 #TrustHisTiming #SmallButMighty
