data-mce-style="background: white;">data-mce-style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Robin Jones Gunn reveals poignant truths from her life as well as from the lives of women in the Bible as she flips the notion that we are at the mercy of circumstances. She asks, what if God has dreams for you? What if he is accomplishing those dreams in the midst of shattered hopes?

data-mce-style="background: white;">data-mce-style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">When life doesn’t go as expected, it’s easy to feel like a victim. We look at the events that have gone wrong and view our lives as impaired. What if we could see our future as God sees it? Would our view radically change if we understood we are indeed victims rather than of happenstance?

He has instilled dreams in your heart that are grander than you can imagine. But the route to their fulfillment often is through a path you wouldn't seek.

    “What?”
    “The masked man with the knife was a surgeon. He removed several diseased masses and repaired my bile duct. I have a nine-inch scar right here.” I traced a diagonal line across my torso. “And another six-inch scar here.”
    Steph narrowed her eyes. She looked like she might throw something at me. “Why didn’t you just say you had your gallbladder removed?”
    I laughed. “Because the experience sounds so different when you don’t know the final outcome ahead of time. That’s what you’re going through right now; lots of painful steps without knowing the final punch line. When I only told you the painful facts of my experience, it seemed as though I were a victim of an act of violence.”
    “It certainly did. B
