Trusting God When the Dream Doesn’t Turn Out How You Expected | Selling the Farm

Sometimes we dream about something because we believe it will finally give us peace, safety, rest, or stability. And sometimes, even when we truly believe God led us into a season, it does not turn out the way we expected. In this video, I share an honest update about why we are selling the farm, how disappointment is not a lack of faith but a form of grief, and what I learned about trusting God when the dream does not unfold the way I imagined. I talk about how God often answers the desire behind our prayers, even when the outcome looks different than what we hoped for. If you have ever thought God was in something and then felt confused, disappointed, or unsure when it ended, this video is for you. You are not failing. You are not faithless. And you are not alone.
