Key Takeaways:

You are not forgotten or bypassed—your “in-between” season is a preparation, not a punishment.
The process develops your character so you can sustain the promise, much like how a foundation must go deep to support a tall building.
There’s a big difference between a calling (the invitation) and a commission (the deployment).
Actively wait in God by developing your gifts and building internal strength, instead of passively waiting "on" Him.
Steward your heart during seasons of delay, especially when comparison or disappointment creeps in.
Don’t rush your process or try to “birth an Ishmael”—what God is preparing for you is meant to last and bless many.
Your primary identity as a child of God must be rooted before stepping into any calling or platform.
