My Plans, His Will

By Jennifer Mesa

What if the things that broke you could become part of the story God uses to rebuild you?

Life doesn't always go according to plan.

In My Will, His Plans, Jennifer Mesa shares an honest, unfiltered journey through childhood trauma, loss, grief, illness, infertility, adoption, and the unexpected challenges that can make faith difficult to hold onto.

From growing up with painful family experiences to losing her first husband, navigating grief, remarrying, facing infertility, and eventually adopting her son from Bulgaria, Jennifer's story is filled with moments when life looked nothing like she imagined.

But through the heartbreak, she began to discover something deeper: God was still there.

This isn't a story about having everything figured out. It's about learning to keep moving forward when life hurts, learning that grief and happiness can exist at the same time, and discovering that your circumstances don't have to define who you are.

Through personal stories, humor, Scripture, and hard-earned lessons, Jennifer explores:

How trauma can shape the way we see ourselves and the worldFinding identity beyond grief, loss, and the opinions of othersLearning to move forward without forgetting the people we've lostThe complicated reality of healing and letting goChoosing faith when God's plan doesn't look like your ownFinding purpose in painful and unexpected seasonsThe role of prayer and worship in overcoming fear and worryBuilding meaningful relationships and serving othersTrusting God through infertility, adoption, family struggles, and uncertaintyDiscovering that our past doesn't have to determine our future

Jennifer doesn't pretend the journey is easy. Instead, she invites readers into the messy middle-the place where faith is tested, questions don't always have immediate answers, and healing happens little by little.

At the heart of the book is a simple but powerful question:

What defines you?

Your losses?
Your mistakes?
Your trauma?
What other people think of you?

Or could you be something more?

Drawing from Scripture, including stories of Joseph, Job, and Solomon, Jennifer reflects on how God can bring purpose from circumstances we never would have chosen. Her story is ultimately one of learning to surrender "my will" and trust "His plans."
