Not Part of the Plan- GirlDefined

I was so thankful to again be chosen to be a part of the launch team for GirlDefined’s new book: “Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the twists and turns of your story.” I was so excited when they announced this new book. I’ve been so encouraged as I’ve followed the story of Bethany’s long journey of singleness and Kristen’s trial of infertility. Their openness to these struggles have encouraged me so much as I see their love for the Lord grow even in the midst of hard. I remember hearing Kristen share of her third miscarriage at the 2019 GirlDefined conference- months after a big and hard life disappointment for me. I was lost and confused and my only hope was to cling to the Lord as my life didn’t go in the direction I had hoped it would. And hearing the struggle Kristen had gone through and how the Lord comforted and worked in her heart was so helpful.  I was so excited to read this book. I’ve loved every book of theirs. It’s so personable and so very practical. They share ...

  2. I'm trying to gauge how much you really like each book. I figure Bold capital letters and four exclamation points means it was your favorite of the three, using the term "enjoy" instead of "like" and just two exclamation points means it could be your second favorite, but then again just a generic "like" and four exclamation points on the third book... Any book with a talking rat would be my favorite. I mean come on, I thought I was interesting to talk to, but a rat... I would use Bold capital letters, "like", "enjoy", I'd even make up a word like "fantastical" or something.

    I mean come on, look at your grandmas post, I'd take a talking rat any day. Ha!
