    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Making plans, setting goals and creating systems is great, but what happens when you suddenly face a roadblock that says “detour” or “road closed ahead” and it doesn’t allow you to further that path, goal or dream you had in mind or it puts you behind your original timeline? <br/><br/>Perhaps you carry dreams, goals, and plans of how things should turn out in your life. How do you move forward and transition from that dream you had set for yourself in a given timeline? How do you cope and accept to walk confidently in the direction God is leading you to? </p><p>This episode discusses what the Bible says, possible reasons why God re-routes, and practical ways to cope with divine detours. I pray it’s a blessing to you! <br/><br/></p><p><b>Episodes Mentioned: <br/></b>Episode 21: <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sarahi-montoya-podcast/id1564519662?i=1000668700238'>The Power of Systems</a> <br/>Episode 18 : <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sarahi-montoya-podcast/id1564519662?i=1000607624123'>Transformed by Grief</a></p><p><br/></p><p><b>Book Mentioned:<br/></b><a href='https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Heaven-Comprehensive-Everything-Questions-Resurrection/dp/0842379428/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bgCOGr1c0HiecaKZsGe_85zAcpovJjWvL09uViBkbe6Pmrz2OvriCQlDsDPOQlq_gRHpFhCVYydRGQJNaZMsRUSoUBIBg1Z2rtwQDcZtNRjCHzhJkYLnTQl17fLUGcT05mM_FHBsAyISlAzMBzS4tbel14reOBByxOD1efeoWslhXkgqQ_3R9cGPek8wZUR6JZ-1elEdrWQANZqfSU8fm2olrqHaHENzh-E1QcFwO6s.znIpXx6YoWI62Ko17o5tIGL96enb1l8QUNDnGztMFh8&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;hvadid=616863318705&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9197386&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=13418215245012065525&amp;hvtargid=kwd-610744453&amp;hydadcr=24664_13611849&amp;keywords=heaven+book&amp;qid=1732547029&amp;sr=8-1'>Heaven by Randy Alcorn</a></p><p><br/></p><p><b>Christian Brigades Legacy Community<br/></b>Sign Up Here:  <a href='http://christianbrigades.org/legacy'>Christianbrigades.org/legacy</a> </p><p><br/></p><p><b>Scriptures Mentioned: <br/></b>Genesis chapter 50:15 - 21<br/>Romans 6:23 </p><p><br/></p><p><b>Send me a message / connect with me: <br/></b>hello@sarahimontoya.com<br/>www.sarahimontoya.com</p><p><br/><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1763810/open_sms">What did you enjoy the most about this episode?
