One Minute to Glory

Are you disappointed?

Published about 22 hours ago • 1 min read

Disappointments feel personal. But they are not your identity...

​

I’ve had my share of disappointments, Reader—dreams I thought were from God, plans I pursued with all my heart, only to see them collapse.
​
And here’s what I’ve realized:
What makes disappointment so heavy isn’t just the loss itself.
It’s the meaning we attach to it.
​
We tell ourselves things like:
“I failed.”
“I’m not good enough.”
“Maybe I’ll never get it right.”
​
Why? Because we’ve started to confuse our identity with our process.
But hear me, Reader—you are not your process.
You are not your timeline.
You are not your performance.
​
​Your identity has always been in Jesus. And the process? That’s just the road He walks with you—full of questions, emotions, silence, and discovery.
​
In this week’s episode of Curious for Christ, we talk about the Emmaus Road in Luke 24 and what it means to walk through disappointment with Jesus. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s deeply human—and deeply sacred.
​
Because when our plans fall apart, it’s not the end of the story, Reader.
It might just be the beginning of seeing God more clearly.
And remembering that we don’t have to be God—we just get to be His beloved.
​
If you’re in a place of waiting or wondering what now, this one is for you.

​

With love and light in the process,

​

I am a strategic creative and I partner with passionate, driven and courageous humans who fear their dreams may be too big, but long to leave a great legacy. I help them connect with themselves, their creator and the endless possibilities that are available to them when they look for what ignites, research possibilities and take faithful decisive actions.

"Losing my Life to Find it" (Matthew 16:25)—It's not just a Paradox This week’s episode stirred something deep in me, Reader.As I edited my conversation with Teacher and Evangelist, Gordon Ferguson, I found myself listening not just with my ears, but with my heart. [Listen to the full episode here.] We talked about aging, illness, and death—but not as punishments or things to fear. Rather, as invitations to live more fully, freely, and faithfully.Lately, I’ve felt God inviting me to let go of...

Comparison steals the moment. Love restores it. Lately , it’s felt like a bit of a roller coaster emotionally. Some days, I think maybe I just need to go back to therapy. And honestly? That might be true. I’m always working on myself—but I’m also learning to let God meet me right where I am. Because nothing is too much for Him. He doesn’t flinch at our emotions, our struggles, or even our confusion. In fact, He’s always guiding us—through it, not around it.Psalm 139 brings so much comfort to...

Easter Special - Curious for Christ

This is why you and I are celebrating Easter… This Easter season, Reader, I’ve been sitting with a quiet question in my spirit:What’s the real story of my life—not just what’s happening, but what’s really true underneath it all?Lately, I’ve felt extra sensitive—longing to be seen, to be loved, to feel like I matter. Maybe you’ve been there too. I found myself caring too much about what others think, comparing myself, feeling like I wasn’t doing enough. Even in real estate—where I’ve been...
