Life rarely unfolds the way we imagined.

For Ashley Higgins, the journey has included military deployments, PTSD, infertility, foster care, adoption, countless moves, and ultimately discovering that God's plans are often far better than the ones we write for ourselves.

In this deeply encouraging conversation, Ashley shares how seasons of disappointment, waiting, and uncertainty became the very places where God revealed His faithfulness. Together, we explore what it means to find your identity in Christ when life takes unexpected turns, how to surrender the dreams and expectations you've held tightly, and why knowing God's Word is essential to remaining anchored when everything around you changes.

Whether you're navigating infertility, grief, loneliness, a major life transition, or simply wondering what God is doing in your current season, Ashley's story will remind you that your circumstances do not define you—God does.

God may write a different story than the one you planned, but His story is always good.
