Are you sick of waiting for your “real” life to begin? This joy-filled daily devotional offers the abundant peace that comes when you place your trust in God’s plan and start living today—from the founder of the Honey Scoop.

“Ashley’s timely wisdom will draw you in and leave you feeling equipped and encouraged to begin each day with joy.”—Rebekah Lyons, bestselling author of Rhythms of Renewal

Do you have big dreams and can hardly wait to start the future God has planned for you? But maybe you haven’t yet arrived where you want to be. Perhaps you yearn for the spouse you’ve been praying for, the career you’ve been working toward, or the life you’ve been hoping for. Whatever your longings, waiting can be difficult. But you don’t have to wait until God answers your prayers to embrace where He has you today.

The truth is, you’re not just hanging around for what comes next—you’re in a meaningful process of becoming the person God created you to be. This daily devotional from the founder of the Honey Scoop will fill you with encouragement to help you deepen your faith as you trust God with your life and its sweetness exactly where you are right now—not where you will be someday. You don’t need to waste your current season as you wait for what’s next.

Discover how you can experience more joy, more purpose, and more trust in God today, and make the most of these holy, God-given days as you embrace The Joy of the In-Between.

Are you stuck in a waiting period? Thinking maybe God forgot about you or that He doesn’t actually have a plan for you? Then The Joy of the In-Between by Ashley Hetherington is for you. This 100-Day devotional book is full of stories from Ashley’s life and they help illustrate the lessons she is trying to teach.

I first found Ashley on YouTube where I started watching her channel almost daily. When I was perusing the Christian books on NetGalley and I saw her name, I knew it had to be her, so I requested the book. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to read and review the book before it came out!

I love the personal anecdotes that accompany each devotional lesson. They show that even those who have it “all put together” have to wait and that God does everything in His time, not ours. I especially enjoyed the anecdotes about flying as I am not good about flying myself, so I felt like I had something in common with her, besides our love for Jesus.

Although The Joy of the In-Between appears to be geared mostly toward women, I’m sure everyone can find value in the devotional teachings of this book. This is definitely a book that I will read again and again.
