Dear Reader,

Have you ever wanted something desperately and realized that God was not going to give it to you, at least not the way you’d envisioned it?

I certainly have, and I don’t mind telling you that it was a crushing disappointment. It was also a lesson in faith, for that something I so desperately wanted that God did not let me have He replaced with something far better than I could have imagined.

That’s what I imagined for both Simone and Morgan. Simone wanted to become a mother in the same way that most women do, but God had a plan that was better not just for her but for three other people, as well. Morgan intended to love one woman, who married someone else, but God had a plan that was better not just for him but for five other people.

No matter how we imagine them, God’s plans are always best!
