Pete Wilson is a funny guy. He is also a very smart guy. It doesn’t hurt that’s he’s cute too but all that has absolutely nothing to do with his wonderful book called “Plan B – What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up The Way You Thought He Would”.
That is a very tough question to answer simply because we grow up believing that God always shows up when we call Him. I mean, the guy is omnipresent so surely He has to appear when and how we need Him, right? Well, right and wrong. Does God always show up? Yes He does but (you knew there was a but in there), He doesn’t always show up in the way YOU want Him to show up or think he should show up and that’s exactly what Pete Wilson explores in his totally awesome book “Plan B”.
In the book, Pete Wilson gives real life examples of situations where God was present but not in the way the individuals wanted Him or thought He would show up. It’s frustrating but the bottom line is God was there, the whole time. I can relate to this because there have been occasions in my life where I expected God to show up in one way and He didn’t. Was I disappointed? That’s putting it mildly.
I questioned Him, I even yelled at Him but the funny thing is everything worked out just fine at the end of the day so I’m slowly learning to say “you know what God, this doesn’t make sense but I know you’re working your tail off somewhere in this situation and at the right time you will not only reveal yourself to me but you will reveal the lesson I’m supposed to take away from all this”. It hasn’t been easy trusting God and I’m a constant work in progress but I’m getting there and I know without a doubt that once you read “Plan B – What Do You Do When God Doesn’t Show Up The Way You Thought He Would”, you too will have renewed hope that even in your darkest moments God has not abandoned you, He is working tireless behind the scenes, maybe not in the way you want Him to work but He is there with you every single second.
