She starred in a Target commercial and won New Artist of the Year at the 1997 Dove Awards. <\/p>\n<p>Just a few years later, however, Velasquez found herself married and then shortly after divorced, heavily criticized by her Christian fans and ultimately dropped by her record label.

And when it all blew up, I attempted repair job after repair job until the spackle and the paint couldn&#8217;t hold up the wall anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was her love of movies, she said, that inspired her to work film metaphors into the book. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say that the book is [perfect] for anyone who has ever watched a movie more than once and hoped for a different ending,\u201d Velasquez told <em>Guideposts.org<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>If Velasquez were in control of the \u201cscript\u201d of her life, things would look different, she said. She would have gone to a normal high school instead of being homeschooled. There wouldn\u2019t be a failed marriage in her past. Her oldest son wouldn\u2019t be autistic. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/finding-life-purpose\/when-plans-fail\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\">God had a different plan<\/a>,\u201d Velasquez said. \u201cWhen you stop asking the question, \u2018Why me, Lord? Why?\u2019 And you start asking the question, \u2018Well, why not me?\u2019 That&#8217;s when you can begin to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Velasquez that required something she calls flipping the script. <\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Flipping the script] is about rethinking the stories we tell ourselves about who we are,\u201d Velasquez said. \u201cWhy are those stories so important and how does changing the way we talk about ourselves and the stories we tell about who we are, how does that change the outcome of our lives and how we see ourselves?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finding those answers, Velasquez said, is exactly what she aims to do in her book, which includes a section at the end of each chapter with questions for readers to flip the script in their own lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe [questions] are designed to help you reflect on what you\u2019ve just read,\u201d Velasquez wrote in the book.<\/p>\n<p>For Velasquez, who remarried in 2006 and now has two sons, one of the biggest ways she\u2019s had to flip the script in her own life in recent years has been with her son Zealand, who was <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/quote\/52689\/\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\">diagnosed with autism<\/a> in 2013.

She continues to find ways to change her perspective and seek God\u2019s plan for her life. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have the ultimate director if we are willing to tap into His direction,\u201d Velasquez said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When she was just 16, Jaci Velasquez released her first album, Heavenly Place.
