Broken expectations are a part of life.
We dream big dreams and make detailed plans about how our lives should look and be–often without consulting God.
In today’s post, I’m sharing a sneak peak of a testimony I shared through Living By Design Ministries back in June of this year.
In this blog, you’ll learn about three important lessons God taught me through my own broken expectations.
Below you’ll find a short introduction to my guest post. But I hope you’ll join us on livingbydesign.org to read my complete guest post!
TRUSTING GOD WITH YOUR BROKEN EXPECTATIONS
By Cailin Davis

SHATTERING SILENCE AND BROKEN EXPECATIONS
I’ve always struggled to trust God in the midst of painful circumstances and broken expectations.
For years, I’d questioned and sought a reason for them.
No matter what I did, broken expectations continued to surface. Until one day in my late teens, I experienced a disappointment that was deeper than any I’d ever felt before.
I told God that my questions could not go unanswered this time.
I believed with all of my heart that He would answer me, until that familiar silence met me once again.
Uninvited questions pushed their way into my brain:
“How did I get here?”
“Why is God letting this happen to me?”
“What am I supposed to do now?”
My life wasn’t going the way I wanted it to go—the way I’d once expected it to. How could I continue to trust in the silence?
