Let God Wreck Your Plans

I hope you know by now—I’m not coming to you with all the answers.I come to you as someone who once saw the signs… felt the gut-check… heard the whispers… and still said:

“Hold my coffee, God—I got this.”

And friend, it nearly wrecked me.

The Plan I Chose Anyway

About 12 years ago, I was tired of doing life alone. I had already been married once, and I told myself I wouldn’t do it again unless I was sure.

But I had two teenage boys who needed a father figure—someone to teach them how to get dirty, drive, fix cars, and navigate girls.

Then he showed up. A Christian from the Bible Belt. He said all the right things. Church rolled off his tongue like second nature.

But when it came time to go with me? He rarely did. Sunday after Sunday came with new excuses.

And then came the lies. The “not-quite-truths.” I remember the first one—it hit me in the gut. The Holy Spirit whispered, “Something’s not right.”

But I ignored it.

The red flags kept piling up. I saw them. I felt them. And still—I told God, “Yep, I see it… but I’m moving forward anyway.”

Conviction vs. Compromise

God had set boundaries in my heart.

For example—he chewed tobacco. For some women, maybe no big deal. For me? A hard NO.

But I reasoned it away.

The enemy whispered:

• “Nobody’s perfect.”

• “You’re being too picky.”

• “No one meets every box on your checklist.”

And I believed it.

Nine years of gaslighting. Nine years of dodged truths. Nine years of highs that kept me hooked. Until it all ended in betrayal and a workplace affair.

When You Blame God

When it all came crashing down, I asked God:“Why did You let this happen?”

And He gently reminded me of every red flag. Every gut-check. Every reason to walk away.

The truth? I didn’t like His answer. I chased perception over truth. And then I blamed Him for letting me.

The Devil Knows Your Words

Here’s something I learned:

The devil can’t read your mind, but he hears your words. He listens. He twists.

When I prayed, “God, send me a good man,” the enemy dressed up a counterfeit. He made chaos feel comfortable. He gave me a knockoff miracle.

And because I wasn’t grounded, I fell for it.

Grace After the Fall

After betrayal came shame. After divorce came regret.

But then came grace.

God didn’t waste my wreckage. He rebuilt it into a testimony—so I could sit here and tell you:

If you’re in a place that feels confusing, crushing, or counterfeit, you don’t have to stay there.

For the One in It Right Now

Maybe it’s not a relationship for you. Maybe it’s a job, a friendship, or a situation you prayed for but now feels like a prison.

Pay attention to the signs.

Confusion is not love. Gaslighting is not spiritual growth. Isolation is not God’s plan.

You are not alone. Reach out—I’ll pray with you.

Scripture to Hold On To

Proverbs 19:21 (NIV):“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”

Matthew 24:36 (NIV):“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

We don’t know how much time we have. But we know He’s calling us to be ready—today.

Final Thoughts

Life is short. Jason and I were recently reminded of that with the sudden loss of two friends.

This is not a game. We don’t have time to cling to plans God never gave us.

If your life ended today—would you be ready?

If not… you can change that right now.

Let Him wreck your plans. He’s waiting to rebuild something so much better.

Closing Prayer

Father, thank You for never giving up on us—even when we ignore You, even when we take the wrong road. Thank You for Your grace, Your mercy, and even the red flags we too often call blessings.

For the one reading this right now—give her courage to surrender. Give her peace in her spirit. Show her the truth clearly. And let her feel Your love deeper than she ever has before.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You’re Not Alone

If this story resonates, hear me: you are not falling behind. You didn’t miss your chance. You are exactly where God intends you to be.

Let Him wreck your plans—so He can rebuild them.eck your plans... He is waiting to rebuild something so much better.
