WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?

Cynthia Roemer

One thing I’ve noticed is that the Lord’s plans for our lives often differ from our own. We start off in one direction only to have one door slam shut and another entirely different path open up. The Lord truly does move in mysterious ways. Often He takes us down roads we never would have chosen or anticipated for ourselves. Events happen in our lives that totally reshape who we are and how we view life. Tragedy, loss, unexpected changes, new opportunities. God uses the events of our lives to mold us and draw us into a deeper relationship with Him.

In my debut historical romance novel, Under This Same Sky, my main character, Becky Hollister, discovers this when tragedy strikes her family, turning her world upside down. Her anguish causes her to question God’s power and authority and to ask why He allows bad things to happen. Yet the Lord doesn’t leave her there. Instead, He leads her on an unexpected journey that garners rekindled faith and renewed hope.

The novel’s key verse is Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.” Under This Same Sky allows readers to walk alongside Becky as she journeys from the depth of anger and bitterness to acceptance and understanding.

Though the novel doesn’t seek to answer the question of why God allows pain and difficulties to infiltrate our lives, it does convey the message that God loves us and is able to work all things for our good when we submit to His will. No matter what we go through in life, we have the comfort in knowing the Lord walks beside us.

Blurb for Under the Same Sky:

~ She thought she’d lost everything ~ Instead she found what she needed most. ~

Illinois ~ 1854

Becky Hollister wants nothing more than to live out her days on the prairie, building a life for herself alongside her future husband. But when a tornado rips through her parents’ farm, killing her mother and sister, she must leave the only home she’s ever known and the man she’s begun to love to accompany her injured father to St. Louis.

Catapulted into a world of unknowns, Becky finds solace in corresponding with Matthew Brody, the handsome pastor back home. But when word comes that he is all but engaged to someone else, she must call upon her faith to decipher her future.

Hi Cynthia, your book sounds intriguing. Historicals are my favorite reads. We never know when something that happens will change the direction of our lives. Even a chance meeting with someone cam set off a string of events. I wish you God's best in all your writing endeavors.

Cynthia Roemer From IL At 7/27/2017 10:39:01 AM

J.E.Grace From Lebanon, Mo At 7/27/2017 1:18:09 AM

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts that shaped your novel. I too have started out on one path and had God take me in a very different direction. God is amazing and his love for us just seems to grow stronger as we walk the path he chooses for us. I have put you book on my to read list.

Amy From NC At 7/23/2017 5:37:14 PM

My own sister crushed my spirit this week by being a traitor. I was sharing this with my SAVIOR for days asking for HIS Help. HE Reminded me that HE also was Betrayed but He Forgave and I should do the same. All is well with my soul now... Praise the LORD!
