When Your Plans Fail // Lemons that don't make Lemonade

Nick and Dairus team up to talk about "When Things in Life Just Don't Work out." 

- When you move the chess pieces of your life the right way, but you still don't get the job or assignment or position.
- When you marry the right person and have a great family, but you still find yourself lonely and tired and wondering if life is supposed to feel this way.
- When you find out that the ancient church had a way of describing this phase of your identity-formation: The Desert Way. 

In the desert, when comfort and assumptions are stripped away, God opens our eyes. To what, exactly? Good question. 

Perhaps, in the desert moments of our lives, we learn to see God. 

Or, perhaps, we learn to see the world for what it is (broken) and are invited to join God in renewing it and restoring it through the love of God... starting with ourselves.
