About Trusting God at the Crossroads

Rooted & Rising: Growth from the Greenhouse

Nancy Williams shares her journey of trusting God after losing her counseling internship for standing by her beliefs, leading to an unexpected blessing when she immediately found her own office space.
• Facing multiple family deaths and an unwanted move in her early 40s created a challenging season of grief
• Pursued a master's degree in counseling to better equip herself for speaking at women's conferences
• Lost her internship when she refused to compromise her beliefs on a work assignment
• Signed a lease on an empty office the same day without consulting anyone
• Husband immediately offered furniture from their home to help set up her practice
• Ministers in the community started referring clients within days of opening
• Parenting adult children requires transparency about our own struggles while maintaining healthy boundaries
• Taking care of ourselves spiritually, physically and emotionally allows us to be better supports for our children

• Trusting God doesn't guarantee a trouble-free life but ensures His presence through every circumstance
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6
