Color Speak, Season 4, Episode 11: When Surrender is the Best Plan

Donna Bess, author of the newly released book, Sidetracked to Surrender: A True Story of Overcoming Trials and Finding Redemption in God's Love, joins me today to provide you encouragement!

At the age of seventeen Donna Bess was in a traffic accident that claimed the life of her best friend.

Donna had been the one behind the wheel.

The resulting hopelessness in the following days led to rash, imprisoning decisions she later came to regret. Though she found soul rescue through a relationship with Jesus, she continued to face devastating circumstances. Yet, throughout her grief-filled journey, Donna learned to lean into the power of God's love. There, she found peace through the storms.

There she found surrender to God.

There she also began to understand the things she was able change.

I know you will find Donna's story fascinating!
