    one beautiful thing that has come through a season of moment of disappointment is that I've learnt my own voice. As an Indian woman we are taught to live for others or at least to silence our thoughts and voice to please those around us and seasons of momentary disappointment has taught me how to stand stern in my voice as I AM WORTHY TO BE HEARD- hence the birth of my KZread channel!

    One beautiful thing that has come through a season of disappointment is me having to flee schooling in Florida for the fall semester of 2022. I had been prepping for this study “abroad” program since December of last year. I flew into Florida with 2 other friends and our living environment was just terrible. Roaches everywhere. We couldn’t stay. We decided to book a flight back home the next day, to Minnesota, and school at another campus because our original one was full in housing and classes. I was devastated of course because I was super excited to go to Florida, but I give all the glory to God because look what is happening in Florida now !!!! Hurricanes that are causing students to go back home. Many are not even in school anymore either. What I learned from this experience is that God knows what he’s doing. His ultimate goal is to protect us and do things according to his own will and that is exactly what he did in my situation. Overall, you just have to trust in him and believe the situation you wanted to work did not work out for a reason. Thanks for another great video Melody❤️.

    One most beautiful thing happened to me is..I made a personal relationship with God and in my moment of disappointment that is also I considered my breakthrough. I thought when I did not get what I planned and failed. I felt that I was detached to God and everything is falling apart however when I had a moment of silence with Him I was reminded that It was me who is separating myself to him. Because I was trying to figure it all out, But I was reminded by Him that He is always there for me even when He is silent. Now I am starting to understand and realized why He had to do it. Tho I dont know His real plan is..? my heart now is at peace knowing and believing that when the time is right He will make it happen. Not too early and too late. It is on always on Time. God bless you all.

It has been 10 months since the relationship ended and I am starting to see why God ended it (oh and I had asked God to end this relationship if this man was not for me. We broke up around 3 weeks after that. So, I am 100% convinced and have faith that God, not only listens to our prayer, but also answers it). Stay strong and hopefully we both can find the right person according to God's will. Have a blessed one!

    Although it definitely takes time to get to this phase, my closed doors eventually made me more grateful to God, and more in line with His beautiful will for my life. Particularly when god removed some romantic prospects from my life, It really stung in the beginning and tbh I still am harboring some trust issues from those experiences, but I became so grateful that God removed those men from my life. After the initial pain wore off, God prompted me to ponder what my life would have been had either one of the guys who broke my been my spouse, and I realized how God really was working in my best interest. I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that God didn't allow me to stay with men who would disrespect me, flirt with other women in front of me, wouldn't appreciate me for all my nuance and quirks, or help me grow. Men that ultimately wouldn't be able to join me in the greater places God is bringing me. I also was so happy that God enlightened me of the qualities I need in a husband and better insight into what a true Godly relationship should be. I hope this all makes sense lol, but these definitely were my takeaways from my experiences.

    So good! A beautiful thing coming out of a disappointment actually happened to me last week. I prayed for several days for God to give me a specific score on an upcoming exam I had. On the day of the exam I was confident, I had studied and prayed for several days and just knew I was walking out of there achieving the score I prayed for. When the scores were released I was so disappointed. I hadn’t done terrible but it wasn’t what I was expecting at all. It wasn’t until the following Sunday that my pastor preached a sermon that reminded me of the kind of God I serve. He mentioned that “Joshua didn’t receive a Moses miracle at the Jordan river because the miracle God gave Moses would not have served the needs of Joshua or the children at that time.” I truly believe had I received the score I was expecting, it wouldn’t have done much. Experiencing this recent disappointment has grown my faith and bettered me as a student. It has blessed me to see that God is not just in my life to pop and grant a favor when I need one. But He is wanting me to go through a process that will prune me (as a student, a servant) and teach me to trust Him even when things look odd.

I believe in things playing out the way they did with my exam, it served a greater need (strengthening my trust in Him to see me through this process), which is really what I needed in this season.

    Same here! I was recently rejected from a career path in which I'd been through 2 interviews and a 2 hour assessment. I thought it was mine. I was so disappointed when it fell through, but God knew all along that it wasn't for me and I'd caught wind that a lot of unpleasant things were taking place in that department unbeknownst to me! God is a keeper, and even though I was so disappointed, I was utterly drained, I heard God say, "Trust Me, this is for the best." Soon after that, I'd found out that a lot was going on behind the scenes that He was protecting me from! He's a good good Father!

    I experienced a big disappointment last year for a test. I failed the test. I wanted God to do a miracle for me, it was like I was using/forcing him but in the moment, I couldn’t see it. I was so focused on the blessing ( the thing I wanted so much- success ). The disappointment - It made me realise I had strayed from God. Had God granted me what I wanted so badly, I would have walked on the path of the wicked. God had to protect me from the destruction that follows from my pride. This disappointing experience humbled me. Now a year later I pray I’m back on track with righteousness, because I’m taking the test again. But this time, my heart posture is different.

    This is all new to me. About a year ago, my life took a 180° turn, leading me into isolation. I stumbled upon one of your videos and have been blessed through binge watching. The uncertainty, discouragement, frustration, and anxiety have forced me into deeper relationship with the Lord. My faith is increasing and I'm learning to trust. Shekinah Glory's song, Yes, comes to mind where the lyrics are, "If I told you what I really need, would your spirit still say, 'Yes'?" I had no idea that when the Lord offered me this choice and made the promises that He made, that THIS was part of the process. I've come too far to turn around but quite frankly, there's nothing to go back to. No longer in Egypt, but this is definitely NOT Canaan.

Each month my period comes since getting ready and trying again, my heart breaks.

Holy Spirit whispered to me to just praise in the midst of my disappointment. That’s what I did with the 1st one, and a week later when the 2nd one hit I almost had no hesitation to start praising God again. I learned to keep my focus on God and trust that whatever he is doing, it’s for my good, no matter how much I wanted what I wanted. He didn’t see fit for me to have either at the time. I know he’ll give me what I need and want, in his perfect timing. Just praise him because he is still God!

I came into this season as a lukewarm christian who simultaneously believed in the universe & manifestation and all sorts of other non-fulfilling things but I know that I will definitely leave this season knowing I'm a child of God and I trust him with everything that I am & everything that I have to offer!!

    My life before i came to know the Lord was so lonely. I was lost and addicted until Jesus came and saved me at the very lowest point in my life. I was suicidal and tried ending it 4 different times. Today I'm a new women in God and i volunteer in a youth group. I was praying for God to use my testimony and he surely did. One day in youth group i encountered a girl who had struggled with everything i did, and she had become saved after hearing my testimony 🤍 sometimes we have to hit rock bottom to find God. He is so faithful as he continues using my testimony to heal the youth.

    Thank you Melody and for everyone who shared. I read through them and got encouraged in my season of dissappointment. God is still good and is still on the Throne, Sometimes its hard to agree but I realise its not based on my feelings or whether I agree or not. Its a fact and its true. Reading his word, resting on his promises and praising and worshiping even when I dont feel like it is helping me move forward. All of this is thanks to my best friend and helper the Holy Spirit who is guiding and helping me. Thank you! ❤

    As the stubborn child I am, I needed the lesson even though I was clearly warned. I took a job because I know my skills were useful and the most beneficial to my recipients. Little did I know the toll it would have on my mental health. It was a test like no other but drove me back to the Lord. This particular lesson was so powerful, each time I make a decision to move forward I take a minute to stop and think about the roadblocks I have encountered. Were they just stumbling blocks or were they small detours I shouldn't have ignored?

    Thank you very much, just what I needed to hear. I am grateful for the many disappointments and rejections I faced over the past two years of trying to get a job. I saw how much my know-how and skills failed, and without anywhere else to go, I had to fall back to God. By His grace, I strive to have an intimate relationship with him at the same time allowing him to sanctify me and do all the works He deems necessary.
