E 63: DAY 3 | How I Responded When God Interrupted My Plans | Birthed into Purpose
What do you do when God completely disrupts your carefully laid plans?
Joseph had it all figured out. He was engaged to Mary, planning an honorable marriage, ready to build a simple, faithful life together. He was doing everything RIGHT.
Then Mary turned up pregnant. And he knew it wasn't his child.
In one moment, Joseph's entire future—disrupted. His reputation—at risk. His carefully constructed plans—shattered.
In this powerful episode, Desiree Day explores what happened when Joseph faced the ultimate interruption. He could have walked away. He had every legal and social right to do so. But in the middle of wrestling with his broken plans, God showed up with an invitation: "Don't be afraid. I'm doing something bigger than you can imagine."
Here's the shift: God's interruptions are often His invitations to something greater than we could plan for ourselves.
Joseph thought he was just marrying a village girl and living a simple life. God said, "How about you raise the Savior of the world instead?"
What if the closed door you're frustrated about is protecting you from something? What if the delayed timeline is developing something IN you before releasing something THROUGH you? What if the thing interrupting your plans is actually the thing birthing God's purpose in your life?
This is Day 3 of "Birthed into Purpose"—a 15-day journey through Matthew 1-3, exploring how the birth of Jesus transforms YOUR life right now.
