When life does not go as planned.

An excerpt from the opening chapter of God Writes Straight With Crooked Lines.

Part I: The Crooked Lines

Chapter 1: When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned

No one plans for the storm.

We plan for success. We plan for progress. We plan for promotion. We plan for peace.

We create timelines. We map out goals. We set expectations for where we believe we should be by now. But life has a way of interrupting our plans.

The job falls through. The relationship ends. The opportunity disappears. The diagnosis comes. The door closes.

And suddenly, the life you carefully outlined begins to look nothing like the one you’re living.

God’s will is not fragile.

It is not so delicate that one mistake can destroy it. It is not so weak that one detour can cancel it. It is not so small that one delay can defeat it.

There is more to the story than the line you can see today.
