Have you ever looked at your life and thought, I imagined things would be different by now?

Maybe you're in a job that drains you. Maybe you're carrying disappointment you can't seem to shake. Maybe you're watching everyone else's dreams unfold while your own feel delayed. Or maybe you're simply tired—tired of waiting, wondering, hoping, and asking God when things will finally change.

If you've ever found yourself questioning where you are, what God is doing, or whether your best days are still ahead, this book was written for you.

This Wasn't the Plan is a compassionate guide for women navigating unmet expectations, unanswered prayers, uncertain futures, and seasons that feel far different than the ones they imagined.

Mac Bridges and Kenz Durham know firsthand what it's like when carefully laid plans unravel. Through experiences with chronic illness, heartbreak, disappointment, and unexpected detours, they've discovered that God often does some of His deepest work in the places we'd rather leave behind.

In these pages, you'll discover a hopeful truth:

• Your disappointment does not define your future.
• Your delay is not the same as denial.
• And the chapter you're living today is not the end of your story.

Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and Jesus' invitation to ask, seek, and knock, Mac and Kenz offer practical encouragement for anyone longing to find hope, purpose, and direction again.

You'll learn how to:

• Identify what's keeping you from experiencing freedom and growth
• Recognize God's presence in the middle of uncertainty
• Bring your questions, fears, and frustrations honestly before Him
• Take courageous next steps without needing every answer first
• Trust God's goodness even when the path ahead feels unclear

Whether you're navigating hardship, relational challenges, emotional exhaustion, questions about your purpose, or dreams that haven't unfolded as expected, this book will help you rediscover hope and take your next step with confidence.

Because what feels like a setback may actually be preparation.

And what looks like an ending may be the beginning of something far better than you imagined.

God is still at work—and your story is not finished yet.
