Through this story, we’re reminded that even our best intentions may not always align with God's will—but His redirection always leads to something greater.

Recognize when God is leading us into a new season

Stay faithful even when our plans change

Trust the Spirit’s guidance when things no longer “work”

Discover how one simple act of obedience can open doors for others
