Just as The Lord Planned: A story about trusting in God's perfect plans... - Amanda Wood

. .

Résumé :
When an angel, who happens to be a uniquely talented seamstress, is given instructions by the Lord to sew a teddy bear for a special boy, she is eager to make the most perfect and precious teddy bear around. But when her carefully crafted creature doesn't turn out quite like she hoped, she's left wondering whether she made a mistake or if the error is in the Lord's plans. In prayer, the Lord reveals to our dear angel what is truly special about that teddy bear. He is a perfect and precious little bear after all...just as the Lord planned. This is a heart-warming tale about trusting in the Lord's plan for anyone who was born a bit different.

Biographie:
A graphic designer and illustrator, Amanda Wood was born with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. Sometime around first grade, she realized she was the only child she knew carrying a heart monitor around the playground once or twice each year. What followed was a years-long journey to discover God, understand His sovereignty, and uncover the beauty that can be found in being born broken hearted. There is, after all, no one who can mend a broken heart like Jesus. Now grown with a husband and a family, Amanda wishes to utilize her love of writing, art, and design to tell children (and adults) everywhere how great God is and how very much He loves them. She also continues to provide graphic design services to small businesses, churches, and ministries.
