Have you ever looked at someone else's life and, without even meaning to, started questioning your own?

You see the doors opening. The prayers being answered. The relationships, the breakthroughs, the purpose, the confidence in their faith.

And you're genuinely happy for them… but somewhere inside, you find yourself wondering:

God, what about me?

Why does their journey seem so clear when mine feels so uncertain? Why does it seem like some people hear from You so easily, while I'm still trying to understand what You're doing in my own life?

And how do I hold on to who I am when the life I thought I was building no longer looks the way I imagined?

In this episode of Faith in the Waiting, we're getting honest about identity, comparison, and what it really means to know who you are in Christ when life doesn't look the way you thought it would.

Because sometimes, comparison goes deeper than wanting what someone else has.

Sometimes it's what happens when the things we thought defined us are stripped away, when we're questioning our purpose, or when we're watching everyone else move forward while we feel like we're standing still.

I've wrestled with this too.

I've looked at people who seem confident in their faith, who receive answers and confirmations, and who appear to be walking in the very things I've been praying for. And I've had to be honest with God about the questions that come with that.

But I'm learning that someone else's journey is not the measure of mine.. and their blessings are not evidence that God has forgotten me.

Together, we're exploring what it means to build our identity on Christ rather than our accomplishments, circumstances, relationships, or timelines. We'll talk about how comparison can quietly affect our relationship with God, how to recognize it without condemning ourselves, and how to bring our eyes back to what is true.

We'll also look at what Scripture teaches us about being made new in Christ, belonging to God, and following Him without measuring our lives against someone else's.

Because the goal isn't to become a woman who never notices what is happening around her. It's to become a woman who can celebrate what God is doing in someone else's life without losing sight of who she is in Him.

You don't have to become someone else to become who God created you to be.

If you've been feeling behind, questioning your identity, or wondering why your walk with God looks different from someone else's, I hope this conversation reminds you that your worth isn't determined by how quickly your life comes together.

You are His before the answer comes. Before the door opens. Before you figure it all out.

And even here, in the middle of becoming, you are His.

Learning to Trust Him When Things Don't Go the Way You Hoped

What do you do when you're disappointed with God?

Maybe you prayed, believed, waited, and thought you were seeing confirmation after confirmation… only for things to unfold completely differently than you expected.

And now you're left wondering:

What happened?

Did I hear God wrong?
Did I misunderstand what He was doing?
Why didn't He answer the way I thought He would?
And can I really trust Him again?

In this episode of Faith in the Waiting, we're talking about one of the hardest emotions to admit when you're walking with God: disappointment.

I've experienced it in business, career, relationships, and in the waiting seasons where I truly believed something was going to change—only to watch the time pass and realize that nothing had changed at all.

And I've had to wrestle with what that disappointment does inside of me.

Because disappointment isn't just about not getting what we wanted.

Sometimes it can make us question whether we heard God correctly.
It can make us afraid to hope again.
It can make us protect our hearts from getting hurt.
And if we're not careful, it can slowly create distance between us and the very God we're trying to trust.

But what if disappointment doesn't have to become distance?

What if we can bring the honest, messy, painful parts of our hearts to God and allow Him to meet us there?

In this episode, we're going deeper than simply learning how to “get over” disappointment. We're talking about what disappointment can reveal, how it can affect our faith, and what it can look like to continue trusting God when His plans don't look anything like what we expected.

Because I don't want a faith that only works when God does what I thought He would do.

I want to know Him—even when I don't understand Him.

If you've ever been disappointed with God, questioned whether you heard Him correctly, or found yourself afraid to hope again…

this episode is for you.

You can be disappointed and still draw near.
You can be confused and still believe.
You can grieve what didn't happen and still trust the One who holds your life.

Welcome back to Faith in the Waiting. 🤍

What do you do when you’ve been praying, trusting, surrendering, and doing your best to follow God… but you still don’t know what’s next?

Maybe you thought by now you'd have the answer.

Maybe you thought God would have made the direction clearer.

Maybe you're doing everything you know to do... and you're still waiting.

So… what now?

In this short but important episode of Faith in the Waiting, we're shifting the conversation.

The first two episodes were about recognizing the reality of the waiting season and the emotions that can come with it. But I don't want us to stay there.

At the same time, I don't want to give you another formula telling you to “just take the next step” when you genuinely don't know what the next step is.

What if you don't have to know yet?

What if trusting God sometimes means being willing to live with unanswered questions without trying to manufacture an answer?

What if the goal isn't always to figure out what's next…

but to stay close to God while you don't know?

In this episode, we're talking about what it looks like to trust God when He hasn't shown you the whole picture, to hold the things He hasn't revealed with open hands, and to remain faithful with what He has revealed.

Because you may not know:

What's next for your career.
What's next in your relationship.
What's next financially.
What's next for your purpose.
When the prayer will be answered.
When the promise will come.

But you can still know Who you're walking with.

And this episode is the bridge into everything we're going to unpack together from here—disappointment, fear and self-doubt, relationships and singleness, comparison, unanswered prayers, obedience, purpose, money, career, hearing God's voice, trusting God's timing, and so much more.

You don't have to have all the answers.

You don't even have to know what's next.

You just don't have to walk through the unknown alone.

Welcome back to Faith in the Waiting. 🤍

Let's talk about what happens when you ask God, “Okay… what's next?”
