NATIONAL BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • 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.

Peace, Purpose, and Hope in the Waiting
Life is full of “in-between” seasons—the times when prayers aren’t answered yet, doors haven’t opened, and everything feels uncertain. The Joy of the In-Between speaks directly to those moments with grace, encouragement, and deep truth.Ashley Hetherington has a gift for weaving scripture, heartfelt wisdom, and practical reflection into short, powerful devotions that feel like a lifeline. Each of the 100 devotions is bite-sized (perfect for mornings or bedtime), yet packed with the kind of insight that lingers in your heart throughout the day.What I loved most is how the book shifts your perspective: instead of viewing waiting as wasted time, it helps you see it as a sacred space where God is at work, shaping and strengthening you. The writing feels like a warm conversation with a trusted friend who reminds you that you’re not alone in the uncertainty.This isn’t just a devotional—it’s a gentle invitation to find joy, trust, and even gratitude in the very places we often resist. By the end, I felt lighter, calmer, and more hopeful about the “in-between” seasons of my own life.If you’re waiting, wondering, or weary—this book will meet you right where you are and lift your eyes to the One who never leaves you.

I ordered a used book, and it came in great condition. I recommend reading this book, it has so many lessons and reminds us that waiting is not as bad as we think. God is in control and He knows what is best.

Every Woman (young and not young) would benefit from this book
I follow Ashley on YouTube and Instagram and faithfully keep up with her posts and videos where she has mentioned this book, at first I didn’t think it would be relevant to me, a married woman with 3 kids. But, something about it called to me, so after a while I ordered it.I was so wrong, it has spoken to the woman in me so many times. I absolutely love it and am forever grateful I listened to the nudge to get myself a copy.Not only is it beautiful, but it’s so full of wisdom and truth. It’s a daily companion along with my Bible. I appreciate Ashley from the bottom of my heart for helping my relationship with Our Heavenly Father!

Ich habe erst ein paar Tage gelesen, aber die Andachten sind kurz und prägnant. Gefällt mir sehr gut und ich bin gespannt, wie sich meine Denkweise und meine Beziehung zu Jesus und zum Thema Warten verändert ☺️
