watched ‘The Wait’ on Netflix and I learnt so much!
One thing that stood out for me was the fact that tarrying in prayer and waiting on God can be SO hard BUT He ALWAYS comes through .. ALWAYS!

i just finished watching #TheWait and i must say it really is a privilege to wait on God.
God's ways aren't our ways, we should have faith and hope in Him always. i thank God for the production of this movie because i learnt a lot from it and i know that God never fails.

I haven't stopped thinking about The Wait since I last night.

Somto's breakthrough was a legit definition of "when the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen."

I totally enjoyed watching #thewait on Netflix. What you do during the waiting process really matters.

I like how not everyone got their answers the way they wanted.

Plus Aisha is a real vibe 😍

One of the best parts of #TheWait was definitely when Dr. Nara is talking to the group about IVF and surrogacy options (I wish they had done more on that scene). These are conversations that NEED to be had, especially in our culture.
