About the Author
Elizabeth Laing Thompson writes at LizzyLife.com about clinging to Christ through the chaos of daily life. As a minister, speaker, and novelist, she is always seeking humor in holiness and hope in heartache. Her new books, When God Says "Wait" and When God Says, "Go," are now available from Barbour Publishing (Shiloh Run Press) . Elizabeth lives in North Carolina with her husband and children, and they were totally worth the wait. When God Says "Wait" is Elizabeth's first book through a traditional press, although she has previously published through independent presses. Some of her other books include a young adult novel, The Thirteenth Summer, and a book for mothers of preschoolers, The Tender Years: Parenting Preschoolers (coauthored with her mother, Geri Laing) . Elizabeth's essays and poetry have appeared in The Huffington Post, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Power for Living, Mamalode, Coffee Crumbs, and BonBon Break. Elizabeth married her college sweetheart, Kevin Thompson, after spending several years swooning over him from the passenger seat of his Dodge Avenger on the drive to church every Sunday. Together the newlyweds went to work serving campus ministries in North Carolina and Georgia. After a long struggle with infertility, Kevin and Elizabeth became the always exhausted but totally grateful parents of one large dog and four loud kids. Now after 19 years of marriage, they still like each other even though Elizabeth beats Kevin at Ping-Pong and buys too many scandalously overpriced mochas. Elizabeth often addresses issues of Christian parenting on her website and Facebook page (https://facebook.com/alizzylife) , and she writes, "We are an imperfect family, fighting to do this godly parenting thing God's way. Our house is too small and our kids are too loud. There are a lot of random gymnastics at inappropriate moments. We have frequent dance-party-related injuries, and epic sock toss battles. We call ourselves the Crazies, because we really are--but most days, we mean that in a good way. I pray the lessons we're learning, trying to wrestle Christ into the chaos of family life--will give you hope, encouragement, and a lot of good laughs."To connect with Elizabeth, visit her website, http://LizzyLife.com, Facebook page, https://facebook.com/alizzylife, and Instagram account: https://instagram.com/elizabethlaingthompson.
