Kelsey Joy Rinker is a Kingdom Breakthrough and Identity Coach. She is the Podcast host of Kingdom Dreamers and creator of Joy By Design.

Kelsey is joining me on this special two part podcast episode today to talk about something we’re all familiar with… Disappointment.

Disappointment usually involves other people and today we’re talking about not only how to prevent it from happening, but also how to deal with it when it does come into our lives.

The first thing to remember about disappointment is that we cannot control others, we can only control ourselves. So, it’s important to keep a few things in mind so that we can prevent that disappointment from happening to us…things like our expectations, how we’re communicating and our responses versus our reactions. 

So often, we assume that the people in our lives know exactly what we need. Then, we end up disappointed because we didn’t get it. Have you ever been upset with your husband because you needed help and he wasn’t helping? Did you communicate that you needed help? Or did you assume that he would just know that you needed help? 

That’s just one example where we can be better to not only set ourselves up for success, but set the other people in our lives up for success as well.

So, when disappointment does happen, what can we do? Kelsey gives some tangible tips on the steps we can take to move past that disappointment and remember that God has a plan for us! 

It’s so easy to stay stuck in that disappointment and negativity. It’s in those times though that we need to shift our perspective and remember, God’s got you, girl! He is working in your life in some way to grow your faith and turn your trials into his testimonies. 

If you’re in a season of disappointment or just need a reminder of WHO’S you are, this episode will encourage you to cling tight to hope and know that joy comes in the morning.
