Message Summary: We all experience seasons of winter in our lives. It\\u2019s no accident that Christmas takes place in the winter. God was at work quietly and deeply, waiting for just the right time for Christmas. Even then, after the birth of Jesus, there seemed to be a time of waiting when God was at work deepening. While we experience suffering in the waiting, we are being invited and prepared for MORE. We have the unique opportunity in these moments to praise Him even before we see the breakthrough.
