What if canceled plans could become unexpected gifts? In this heartwarming episode of Anchored Not Anxious, host Terri sits down with author Elise Tegegne to explore how trust transforms our response to life's curveballs.

Elise, author of "In Praise of House Flies: Meditations on the Gifts in Everyday Quandaries," shares how her mother's "adventure mindset" shaped her ability to welcome disruption with curiosity instead of anxiety. From a shattered dream of teaching in France that led to unexpected love and purpose in Ethiopia, to discovering the profound connection between canceled flights and Sabbath rest, Elise reveals how remembering God's faithfulness opens us to His better plans.

Together, they dive deep into practical wisdom about:

• Cultivating an adventure and curiosity mindset when plans fall apart
• The trust-centered practice of true Sabbath rest
• Transforming unplanned silence into sacred space
• How fear can become a doorway to deeper intimacy with God
• Anchoring ourselves in God's Word during uncertain seasons

Whether you're facing unexpected changes, struggling with control, or seeking to deepen your trust relationship with God, this conversation offers hope-filled perspective and practical encouragement for finding the divine gifts hidden in everyday quandaries.
