Episode 43: Blessing in the Disappointment
This week on Las Locas Chronicles, Jessica and Alexa kick off the episode with birthday shout-outs for all the November Locas before diving into a powerful (and relatable) conversation about disappointment — and how God can turn it into a blessing.
From laughing about Ralphie in A Christmas Story and his many letdowns to unpacking the deeper truth behind our own disappointments, the Locas remind us that sometimes what feels like rejection is really God’s protection.
Disappointment, by definition, means “not having what we had hoped for happen.” But what if God is holding it back because we’re not yet ready to handle it? Sometimes our character can’t yet carry the blessing we’re asking for — and instead of saying “Lord, bless me,” we need to start praying, “Lord, prepare me.”
In this heartfelt conversation, the Locas talk about:
- Learning to manage disappointment with grace
- Trusting God’s perfect timing
- How even Jesus faced disappointment on the cross
- Recognizing that our greatest disappointments can lead to our greatest victories
Don’t let disappointment blind you — let it build you. What you thought was a setback might just be God setting you up for something greater.
