When things aren’t going they way you expect
by Rosemary ~ April 3rd, 2008God is God. Because He is God, He is worthy of my trust and obedience. I will find rest nowhere but in His holy will, a will that is unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.
And this:
The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger. –Elisabeth Elliot

Great thought. If His will turned out to be what I expected it to be, or my will prevailed, oh my goodness I’d be in such a mess. Even when I still want my own way I am so relieved God has His. Indeed, everything He has and does is bigger and better.Thanks for sharing those thoughts, Elizabeth Elliot has such a gift.
Blessings, Martha

Rosemary, Will you ever learn? I have already warned you once: Get out of my business already! You and your convicting quotes!
I laughed out loud when I read your comment, Lisa. I’m preaching to myself, and it’s nice to have your company as long as I’m being convicted!
