Everyone has expectations.

Expectations for ourselves, our kids, our bosses, our family & friends—even, and especially, expectations for God. But expectations often don’t translate into reality. And when that happens—when our expectations don't match our experiences—frustration enters the picture, along with anger, depression and hopelessness. But what if we saw our edited expectations as “Divine Detours?” What if we embraced them as opportunities for God to show up in bigger and better ways than ever before?

“Isn’t God supposed to come through for me? This isn’t what I expected.” We’ve all been here before—wondering why things are so hard and why God isn’t delivering like he should. But when we put our faith in God, we can trust that the detours he leads us on are divinely inspired, and that they will ultimately lead to the outcome we would choose if we knew what he knows.
