Making Peace with Unfulfilled Dreams - Chrystal Evans Hurst

Published 2019-03-08
As a kid, you had big hopes and dreams for your life. And then, reality sets it. Chrystal Evans Hurst shares how she had to place her aspirations aside first as a single teenage mother, then again later in life when she became the breadwinner for her family. She also encourages you not to lose heart because it’s never too late to rediscover your identity in God and reclaim those dreams of long ago.

Using the acronym GAIN, you can examine your gifts, abilities, interests, and nature to get a clear picture of who God made you to be. She also suggests a 90-day challenge to identify three things you want to change about yourself.

    Chrystal was very transparent about her life, her mistakes and her lessons. She is truly a blessing for the body of Christ.

    Let the redeemed say so! Chrystal you are not only articulate like your dad, but you appear to be very methodical. You handled these questions with poise and confidence. I’ve just began following you and I love you and how you display the inner you; strong, resilient and undaunted. I could listen to you for hours. May the grace of God always shine upon you as you carry on your parents legacy. again you handled those questions with wisdom and grace. You did your parents well!
  • Tearfully blessed by this. Just on a the tail end of a season where many dreams seem to have died. However, trusting Him now to guide me and know his will and order is perfect. Starting to dream again.

    You chose life for your baby AND for yourself! Thank you for sharing your story Chrystal! Thank you for not preaching at me like I am in trouble, or shouting at me like I am hard of hearing. Your calm, conversational and confident tone is absolutely refreshing! We need more ministers with your style♡

    The woman is blessed to be articulate, it is the legacy of both her parents, all of the children are good speakers.

  • Like the song from casting crowns “ it’s a slow fade when you give yourself away , it’s a slow fade , black and white turn to gray , thoughts invade , choices made , the price will be paid when you give yourself away , people never crumble in a day , it’s a slow fade .....”
