“God has no problems,” Corrie ten Boom said, “only plans.”
When ours are interrupted, His are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always (including those minutes or hours or years which seem most useless or wasted or unendurable) “toward the goal of true maturity” (Rom 12:2 JBP).
Believe God. Turn the interruptions over to Him. He is at the controls.
-Elisabeth Elliot

I remind you, in case you are unfamiliar with these remarkable women, that Corrie ten Boom survived a German concentration camp during the second World War (punishment for hiding Jews). She wrote an absolutely remarkable, life-changing book about it (The Hiding Place) which you must read. Elisabeth Elliot, formerly a missionary to a primitive tribe, lost her first husband to native warriors and her second to cancer. She’s written a large number of books which have made a huge impact on my life. (The story of her first husband is told in Through Gates of Splendor, which you also must read!)
