Trusting God When Life Doesn’t Look Like What You Want

What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you planned? When the relationship you invested in crumbles, the dream you’ve been working toward falls apart, or you find yourself stuck in a cycle of hurt and disappointment?

In this heartfelt episode of Living My Truth with Shonnie, I open up about my own recent breakdown and the moment God reminded me that it’s time to reset. I share what it means to release control, trust God’s timing, and let go of people and situations that aren’t aligned with His peace.

Life can be messy, unpredictable, and heartbreaking. But God isn’t afraid of the mess—He works right in the middle of it. Join me as we talk about resetting our hearts, embracing the process, and trusting that God is always working behind the scenes, even when life doesn’t look like what we want.

This is your season to reset. Let’s do it together.
