Book Cover & Preview Text
<p>In this book, Adrienne Aristil wants to share with others how we can find hope, joy, and peace in the midst of our life's struggles; how the Master Architect can follow His plan for us while we have trouble understanding certain things in this world. We may be trying to resolve some of our struggles in our own power or efforts, but everything can be a band-aid on our bleeding wounded heart until we surrender to God’s purposes.<br /> By sharing her story of brokenness and the power of God in her limitations, she hopes it to be a way for those who are enveloped themselves in the emotional baggage of their childhood and need to be loved at all prices, to connect to their stories too. It is also her hope that her stories can be used as a message of healing and hope to help others. <br /> Sometimes, we can even pretend that things are better than they are for us to relieve our pain. Neither denial nor our efforts to relieve pain can do the job, but the Master Architect, our God.<br /> Surrendering to God's plan is the action to take. That can take us through so many changes. Changes in our thoughts, our conversations, and our actions; and, these changes work for our own good. Surrendering to God is the best thing to do in our spiritual life. It meant to feel free from struggles, guilt, rejection, self-unworthiness, and frustrations of life. Our Master is whispering in our hears: "You don't have to worry anymore about what other people are thinking about you; you are free to accept yourself as you are."<br />God indeed has a perfect plan for all His children. We just have to surrender.</p>

About the Book
It is not only your efforts that can take you where you want to be. Even though we do our best, we won’t be able to meet the requirements of this demanding society. But God can take our incapacity and our humbling efforts and use them for His glory. We just have to trust the Master Architect’s plan.
Sometimes we wrestle with life by trying to do it on our own way, but the real problem is our unwillingness to surrender to God for His plan for our lives. Again, throughout this book, you will read testimonies about different situations of what God can do through His children’s lives when they surrender.
About the Author
Adrienne Aristil was born in Haiti and moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, at the age of thirty. In spite of her professional background in her native country, she was afraid about immigrating to the United States. She didn’t think she would be able to integrate herself in the country academically, professionally, or socially. She thought if she could just speak a little bit of English, she could survive, but she would not be able to go to college. However, God had more in His plan for her. She went to school and received her bachelor’s degree in social work at the age of thirty-eight from Florida Atlantic University. She became a teacher and continued to study to be certified in four subject areas in Florida’s school system. She got her master’s degree in educational leadership, and in the summer of 2009, she was awarded a scholarship from the French government to study the strategies of teaching French language and culture through art, music, and drama.
As important as all of these achievement in rising above her limitations, she gives all the credit to God, who she calls her “Master Architect.”
Adrienne Aristil lives in West Palm Beach, Florida, with her family.
