This Isn’t What I Thought, God…//When Life Doesn’t Go the Way You Planned + Finding Trust in God’s Detours

October 27, 2025 • Mariah Clayton

We all have plans for how we think our life will go — the timeline, the milestones, the picture we’ve created in our heads. But then life happens, and things turn out completely different. The plan falls apart, the dream changes, and we start to question God. Why did this happen? Did I hear You wrong? Will I ever make it out of this?

In this episode, we are learning how to navigate life's detours and find trust in God's plan. Because even when things don’t go how we thought they would, God is still working, and the unexpected chapters often become the best parts of our testimony. If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “This isn’t what I pictured,” this one’s for you.
