Have you ever been shocked by the unexpected? Rattled by the unplanned? Panicked by the uncertain? Or simply disappointed by unmet expectations?

Amanda Wright has been there—stunned by two pink lines (at a time when she wasn’t expecting them). As a college student and preacher’s daughter who was unmarried and unprepared, Amanda felt embarrassed, unworthy, and lost. And yet, God was not surprised. In fact, He was already at work in her mess.

“You don’t have to carry the burden of fixing your story, because the cross has the final say.”  —Amanda Wright

Amanda is now a wife and mom of three who’s courageously sharing her experience with such unplanned mercies. Join Jenn Jewell and Kristi Ivey for a chat with Amanda at The Messy Table!
