New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst unveils her heart amid shattering circumstances and shows readers how to live assured when life doesn't turn out like they expected.

What do you do when God's timing seems questionable, His lack of intervention hurtful, and His promises doubtful?

Life often looks so very different than we hoped or expected. Some events may simply catch us off guard for a moment, but others shatter us completely. We feel disappointed and disillusioned, and we quietly start to wonder about the reality of God's goodness.

Lysa TerKeurst understands this deeply. But she's also discovered that our disappointments can be the divine appointments our souls need to radically encounter God. In It's Not Supposed to Be This Way, Lysa invites us into her own journey of faith and, with grit, vulnerability, and honest humor, helps us to:

  • Stop being pulled into the anxiety of disappointment by discovering how to better process unmet expectations and other painful situations.
  • Train ourselves to recognize the three strategies of the enemy so we can stand strong and persevere through unsettling relationships and uncertain outcomes.
  • Discover the secret of being steadfast and not panicking when God actually does give us more than we can handle.
  • Shift our suspicion that God is cruel or unfair to the biblical assurance that God is protecting and preparing us.
  • Know how to encourage a friend and help her navigate hard realities with real help from God's truth.

Soft, comfortable fitting jeans
Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse
Good quality and a great slim fit, but a bit expensive for a blend. Since they aren’t 100% cotton, they have a slight stretch that makes them more comfortable and softer than standard jeans. I’m happy with the look and feel, but I’ll have to see how they hold up over time.

Very nice and would highly recommend!
Size: 32W x 30L, Color: Medium Grey
The fit is exactly what I was looking for, slim without being too tight, and it fits true to size, so I get that modern look but still feel comfortable sitting or walking around all day. The denim feels soft yet sturdy, which makes me confident it’ll hold up well over time. I also love the classic 5-pocket design. It’s functional and keeps my essentials handy without adding bulk. The color holds up after a few washes, and there’s minimal fading so far, which is a big plus for me. Pairing these pants with a casual tee or a button-down is effortless, they easily transition from work to weekend vibes. For the price and quality, I feel like these are a solid addition to my wardrobe. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a slim, comfortable, and versatile pair of jeans.

Love these jeans
Size: 34W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse, Size: 34W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse
Nice jeans. THe fit is great, the material is kind of stretchy, and the black color is true black not a faded look. Hard for me to find a good pair of jeans but these I love.

They feel like cardboard
Size: 36W x 29L, Color: Medium Grey
I kept these hoping to replace a denizen slim 216 that I can’t find anymore. These are not as a soft and rather quite stiff, maybe due to the recycled content. They might do for the occasional trip out of the house but I’m not impressed and glad I didn’t pay full price.

All Day Comfort
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey
If you like the trim look of slim-cut jeans, you will love these. The silhouette is near perfect without veering into skinny jeans territory and the extra length make mine perfect with boots. The denim is good quality and the stretch fabric retains its shape, resisting the baggy look after multiple days of wear. The grey color is just right without the unnatural whiskers and wear-lines added by other brands. I love these jeans and look forward to many years of uses.
