Strung out on the world, she was high on her sin and lost in trauma and tarot cards. Exhausted and burdened by abusive lesbian relationships and an ever-widening gnawing on the inside for more, she cried out to God for rescue, but not before running. A lot.
Maybe you can relate to running from God, too. Cierra ran everywhere to try to heal her wounds. Those empty wells only splintered her more.

Maybe you're like Cierra, finally cognizant of the chains and acutely aware the confusion over your identity is not from God. Perhaps you feel too weak to leave the life you know, your same-sex partner, or the destructive ways giving you a false peace.

After years of dodging Jesus, periodically popping in to acknowledge His authentic existence, Cierra shares how she began to trust God and see:
On a vulnerable tour of brokenness and rebuilding, Cierra's prose reveals a trail of redemption and broken chain links to the Savior, Jesus Christ, and His better plan. He never hated her as she once believed. And He wasn't afraid to find, clean, and love her. Jesus is also waiting to save you. In A Better Plan, you will:
Journey with Cierra through her testimony of surrender, repentance, and redemption, one "yes" to God at a time. She went from running from Jesus to running to Jesus to running for Jesus.
Whether you're still deciding to return Home, learning to trust Jesus, or want to help someone in a similar situation, this book is for you.
