In "To Be Told: Know Your Story, Shape Your Future," author Dan B. Allender emphasizes that God operates outside the constraints of time, allowing our stories to unfold uniquely. While we often crave immediate solutions to our problems and seek quick resolutions, it is crucial to understand that God's timeline differs from ours. Our patience during prolonged waiting periods is essential for our growth and the maturation of our narratives.

Allender suggests that the challenges we face over the years contribute to a deeper understanding and relationship with God. As we navigate life’s ups and downs, our desires gradually shift toward Him. This journey of storytelling highlights the importance of faith and patience as we allow God to shape our experiences and guide our future paths.
