It is natural for us to set up expectations. But when things don’t go the way we expect, what determines how we respond? It’s different for everyone. But the earlier we learn how to control that response, the better. This episode features Cathy DiBella’s review of the book entitled “It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way,” by Lisa TerKeurst. The book addresses walking through disappointment with a “biblical insight.” Cathy gives us an inspiring look at transforming the inevitable disappointments of life into a journey of discovery and hope through what she terms as “the living water of God’s truth.”
