I REFUSE the lie that I'm on the wrong timeline or will be left behind. IT IS WRITTEN that God makes everything beautiful in its time, and His timing is perfect for my life.

Father is not watching you fall behind while other girls get ahead. He's carefully orchestrating your story with perfect timing, protecting you from wrong relationships and preparing you for the right ones—and His schedule is always better than what you imagined.
