You can miss God by moving too fast. But you can miss Him just as completely by refusing to move at all. There is a road God wants you to walk, and there is a ditch on either side of it. One ditch is hastiness. You reach for something God has not released yet. You pick the fruit while it is still green, and it turns you inside out. Most of us have learned that one the hard way. The other ditch is hesitation, and almost nobody calls it by name. It looks like wisdom. It sounds like patience. It feels responsible. And while you stand there telling yourself you are waiting on God, His hand is lifting off your life one inch at a time. In nine chapters, Rev. Linda L. Adkins takes both ditches apart with Scripture, plain speech, and more than forty-five years in ministry. She shows why Abraham's caravan sat parked in Haran, and what that delay cost him before the twenty-five years of waiting could even begin. She opens Deuteronomy 2:31, covers two phrases with her fingers, and hands you what is left: *I have begun to give… begin to possess.* And she walks you down her own road — a stuttering homemaker in rural Duval County who was called to preach in 1979, and the church she and her husband Howard planted in 1982 and led together for more than four decades. If you have already spent years in one of the ditches, this book is not here to shame you. Howard kept a four-wheel drive and a chain for the neighbors who slid off that dirt road, and he must have pulled a hundred cars back up onto it. This book knocks on the door, hooks the chain, and pulls. Includes an eight-week guide for small groups and thirty passages of Scripture on timing, obedience, and moving with God.
