Disappointed

I'm in an awkward space lately where I feel somewhat disappointed by God. I know, that seems so disrespectful and sacrilegious to admit but let me explain. Mark and I are struggling with some issues that we saw coming, but I firmly believed God would only let occur to a point before stepping in to save us. Well, that point has come and gone and I'm wrestling with lots of questions. Was I hearing from God correctly in the first place? Am I making good decisions or did I make a bad decision somewhere along the line? Have I been placing my expectations onto God in a way that I shouldn't? I'm pretty confused and that makes me feel fairly lost. My faith in God hasn't been shaken by these new sets of struggles and I'm EXTREMELY thankful for that fact. I figured that one day I would say to Mark, "see, God kept us out of that pit," and it's becoming a scary reality that maybe part of God's plan is to allow us to sit in the pit for awhile. That's the part that is disappointing, feeling so confident that God will allow a quick season of struggle, only to realize He is allowing the season to last much longer than I anticipated. Just when I thought I was maturing in my walk with the Lord, I see the areas that need some serious work. I know God's ways are not my ways and most days I'm thankful for that fact. Today however, I just want to know I'm headed in the right direction.
