The Year God Interrupted My Plans

When your perfect life falls apart, do you double down on control-or finally let go?Elena Vance has always been a woman with a plan. A high-powered Chicago executive, she measured her worth by her output and her security by her spreadsheets. But when a shattering divorce and a professional collapse leave her life in ruins, Elena decides to engineer her own "fresh start" in the coastal quiet of Charleston.
Armed with a new journal and a 100-day master plan, she isn't asking God what He wants; she's informing Him of where she's going. Then comes the Interruption. One by one, the doors Elena tries to kick open remain firmly bolted. Her finances shake, her career prospects vanish, and she finds herself in the one place she never wanted to be: out of strength and out of options. In this tender and honest exploration of faith, Elena discovers that God isn't being late-He's being intentional.
Through the "theology of the No, " she is led away from the idols of productivity and approval and toward the quiet, holy beauty of the ordinary. The Year God Interrupted My Plans is a rich, emotionally resonant journey for anyone sitting in the wreckage of a "failed" season. With themes of surrender as freedom, identity beyond heartbreak, and the courage to trust a God who prunes us only to help us flourish, this story is a roadmap back to the soul.
Sometimes, the goodbye that feels like an ending is actually the divine interruption that saves your life.
