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.

We are slaves of Christ, which is the highest honor ever.  Everyone is a slave to someone or something.  Most people think they are in control of their own lives and they get to decide what they what to do and how they want to live, but they are either slaves of sin or slaves of Christ.  I find it very encouraging that God is Master over all, even the devil himself.
