    From Security to Surrender: A Story of Faith in the Uncertainty

    What happens when God suddenly disrupts the plans you thought He had for you? In this deeply personal episode, I'm joined by my husband Tyler as he vulnerably shares how his secure career crumbled just as we discovered we were expecting our little girl, Juniper. The journey begins with the joyful moment Tyler learned he was going to be a father- a birthday surprise that left him in tears of happiness. But within weeks, his stable job at a prison began unraveling through a series of unexpected events: removal from work areas, loss of a significant bonus, and eventually a proposed demotion. All while we were preparing for our daughter's arrival. Tyler takes us through the agonizing decision to leave his position with its benefits and security, entering a season of complete uncertainty. For ten weeks, he pieced together odd jobs—landscaping, cleaning, car detailing- anything to keep us afloat financially. And just when it seemed things couldn't get more challenging, his car was totaled in an accident. Yet through these trials, something beautiful emerged. A long-ignored calling to ministry that Tyler had postponed "until retirement" suddenly became impossible to ignore. God wasn't just disrupting- He was redirecting. In a moment that can only be described as divine orchestration, Tyler received both seminary acceptance and a new job offer within 45 minutes of each other. This episode isn't just about career troubles or financial worries- it's about surrender. When Tyler finally opened his hands and said, "Your will be done," God began working in ways we couldn't have imagined. As Tyler reflects, "There is truly a season for everything under the sun, and I feel like I have been placed on this earth to experience it for myself, so that when I do get into my role of ministry, I can share what God has shown me." Whether you're facing uncertainty, questioning God's presence in your valley, or sensing a calling you've been hesitant to embrace, this conversation offers hope that even when the carpet is pulled from beneath you, God is still faithfully present, watering the flowers that only grow in the valley.
