"What does God want me to do with my life - what does He want me
to BE? That makes all the difference in the world."
When Charity Wentworth leaves university, she's going to go to India
and spend a year living and working there as a missionary. Right?
She thinks so, but God has other plans. He wants her to do - and be
- something else. His plans for Charity are beyond her wildest
dreams, but can she embrace them when they're so different from her
own plans - has she got the courage to change?
'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans
for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.'
~ Jeremiah 29:11 ~

"I keep telling myself - and everyone else - it'll be okay.
There are so many things that could go wrong, but ... it'll be okay.
It has to be. And if it isn't okay we have to believe it'll be okay
at the moment."
As her chance for true love grows distant and one of her sisters is
diagnosed with a rare medical condition, Charity Wentworth feels like
everything most precious to her is being jeopardised. She knows that
God wants her to let go and just trust Him. This winter is the
longest Charity can remember having lived through - as she waits for
spring, can Charity trust God, no matter what?
'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,'
declares the Lord. ~ Isaiah 55:8 ~

"This is a journey I never would have chosen to take, but ... it's
taking me to a closer, deeper relationship with God than I ever
thought possible."
The promises of new life that have come with spring are touching
everyone around Charity Wentworth, but she seems to have been left
behind. As she looks from a stormy today into an unknown tomorrow,
can Charity release the pain of disappointed hopes and embrace a new
life - committed to God, heart and soul, for life and for eternity?
To give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be
called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He
might be glorified. ~ Isaiah 61:3b ~
