Hey sisters! I'm so excited to be coming to you with this bonus. There's something so amazing

that's about to happen that I want you to know about. So please make sure to crank the volume up

so that you don't miss this because Christian and I have the most exciting announcement

in the world to make. So if you have not already heard, we have a book that's releasing October 12.

So just in a few days here called Not Part of the Plan, Trusting God with the twists and turns

of your story. And this book is really all about the fact that life is full of disappointments.

Life does not go the way exactly the way any of us have planned. I want you to stop

and think right now like has your life gone exactly the way that you wanted? Have all your dreams

come true? Has everything been like yes this is my Disney movie? I've got everything I want.

Like I can almost guarantee that's not the story for any of us because we live in a fallen

world, a broken world. And so worry, anxiety, disappointment, struggling to trust God,

wrestling over our unfulfilled longings. That's the reality for many of us. And so

I guess a couple of years ago, and Christian and I were trying to decide what we wanted to write a

book on. This idea of Not Part of the Plan, Trusting God with the twists and turns of your story,

was just like the reality of the last 15 years of our life. So we open up the book with just

I guess that's the end of story about, you know, just our lives, our plans, our dreams,

and then really just them come crashing down. And the chapter, the first chapter is called

when dreams don't come true. And I mean, isn't that the reality for so many of us?

So chapter one is when dreams don't come true. Chapter two, this isn't what I wanted.

Chapter three, worry, worry, worry. Chapter four, the bright side of disappointment.

Chapter five, God, are you even good? Chapter six, hello crazy girl emotions.

Chapter seven, trust the one who holds tomorrow. Chapter eight is freed up to live for him.
