What happens after the disappointmentâwhen the plan falls apart, and youâre left holding questions instead of answers?
In this heartfelt episode of Dreams, Dirt & Grace, we step into the vulnerable space that comes after the fire. The space where God feels quiet, the next step isnât clear, and youâre wondering if you missed somethingâor if youâre just⊠stuck.
Kawailani shares what it looked like to trust God when there was no clear direction, no ânext big thing,â and no plan to follow. Through raw stories, tender reflections, and a moment of unexpected wisdom from her 5-year-old, this episode reminds us:
Faith isnât always a bold leapâitâs often found in the stillness. In the pause. In the surrender that says, âGod, I donât know where this is going⊠but Iâm choosing You anyway.â
If youâre in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering what comes nextâthis oneâs for you.
đ Reflection for this week:
Where in my life do I feel uncertain or unclear about whatâs next?What would it look like to choose rest as a form of faith?How can I trust Godâs timing, even when I canât see it unfolding yet?If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

When the ending isnât what you prayed for and the heartbreak feels heavy, peace might be the last thing you expect⊠and yet, somehow, itâs what God offers in the middle of the wreckage.
In this tender episode of Through the Fire, Iâm sharing what it looked like to find peace after being released from Fire Academyâjust weeks before graduation. The kind of peace that doesnât come because everything worked out⊠but because God was there, holding me in the heartbreak.
If you're walking through a season that feels uncertain, painful, or unfinishedâthis oneâs for you. Because even when the story breaks, Godâs presence stays.
đ Reflection for this week:
What does peace feel like to you in this season?Where have you seen glimpses of Godâs presence, even in the pain?What would it look like to ask for peaceânot as an outcome, but as a daily gift?If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

Sometimes God doesnât remove the fire.Sometimes... He just holds you through it.

Through the Fire â Part 3 | Dreams, Dirt & Grace
What do you do when youâre doing everything rightâsurrendering, obeying, showing upâand still feel like youâre falling apart?
In Part 3 of the Through the Fire series, Iâm sharing one of the lowest points in my Fire Academy journey. The moment I failed in front of everyone. The moment the whispers got loudââYouâre not strong enough. You donât belong here. Youâre failing.â
This episode is a raw look at the heaviness of discouragement, the lies that creep in during the middle of the fire, and the truth that pulled me through. Because even when the outcome doesnât look how we hoped, God is still present. Still refining. Still carrying us.
If youâre feeling tired, stuck, or like youâve lost your wayâthis one is for you.

Part 2: Obedience â Saying Yes When You Donât Know the End of the Story
Saying yes to God sounds brave⊠until youâre walking it out in the middle of exhaustion, uncertainty, and doubt.
In Part 2 of Through the Fire, Iâm sharing the real and raw moments of what obedience looked like for meâsaying yes to Fire Academy without knowing the outcome, trusting God while juggling motherhood, training, and the constant feeling of âAm I doing the right thing?â
Obedience isnât always pretty. Itâs rarely easy. But itâs always worth it.Because when we say yes, God doesnât promise clarityâHe promises presence.
This episode is for the woman in the messy middle, the one whoâs following God but starting to question the path. If thatâs you, youâre not aloneâand I pray this reminder gives you strength for your next step.

Has god been pushing you towards a Purpose & have you NOT taken a Step?
Have you (unintentionally) placed your Daydreams into Park instead of just slowing down to take a break?
