What happens after the disappointment—when the plan falls apart, and you’re left holding questions instead of answers?
In this heartfelt episode of Dreams, Dirt & Grace, we step into the vulnerable space that comes after the fire. The space where God feels quiet, the next step isn’t clear, and you’re wondering if you missed something—or if you’re just… stuck.
Kawailani shares what it looked like to trust God when there was no clear direction, no “next big thing,” and no plan to follow. Through raw stories, tender reflections, and a moment of unexpected wisdom from her 5-year-old, this episode reminds us:
Faith isn’t always a bold leap—it’s often found in the stillness. In the pause. In the surrender that says, “God, I don’t know where this is going… but I’m choosing You anyway.”
If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering what comes next—this one’s for you.
📓 Reflection for this week:
- Where in my life do I feel uncertain or unclear about what’s next?
- What would it look like to choose rest as a form of faith?
- How can I trust God’s timing, even when I can’t see it unfolding yet?
