changed in the waiting: an advent devotional

The season of Advent honors our waiting. Our time spent waiting can shape us-if we let it. The virtues of hope, love, joy, and peace are the hallmarks of God’s work in all of history. Advent is especially marked by these virtues, and so are we when we lean into the transformational opportunity of this unique season in the Christian calendar. Journey with Michaele LaVigne through the season of Advent in order to discover that waiting is not empty time at all. It is full of God’s presence and opportunities to be changed.
