Crystal Shaw has two dreams; one is to open her own daycare center and the other is to have a child of her own. Currently working in a daycare center caring for other people s children, she often becomes frustrated and finds herself judging people and wondering why God would bless them with children and not her. Will Crystal learn how to trust God in all the areas of her life; even then things seem at their worst? Vivian Parker is rich, has the man of her dreams and has planned her life to a tee; even down to when she ll get married and have children. Vivian learns that sometimes plans have to be altered. Feelings of not being able to have the one thing she wants most in the world causes memories of the past to surface and she is forced to re-evaluate her faith in god.

[Krystal Esmi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good book. I was glad with the way that everything ended for everyone. This book really dealt with learning how to operate on God's schedule versus our own. It was also a lesson on patience and faith. This book was very well-organized. It was easy to keep up with each character and the happenings of their lives because of the way that the author structured it. I emphasized with each character and each situation that they were going through.
This book was relatable and realistic. I would probably read it again, and I would recommend it to someone who went through a similar situation.

I learned that everything happens in God's time not ours.
