The deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able honestly to pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done.
–Elisabeth Elliot, Passion and Purity

God’s timing is not ours. He will reveal himself – though not necessarily when and where we may expect.
–Charles H. Spurgeon




Waiting is not wasted time. Realize that God is preparing his resources and strengthening you as well. C.H.P.
—Streams in the Desert

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).
–Elisabeth Elliot

God often gives in one brief moment that which he has for a long time denied.
–Thomas à Kempis

We would actually accomplish more if we attempted less, and spent more time in quiet waiting on God.
—Streams in the Desert




He who waits on God never waits too long.
–Chuck Wagner

Chit Chat

~ Forum thread covering ROE V. WADE ruling by SCOTUS

~ I can't believe I missed the white supremacy/privilege angle. READ THIS: The Assault on Children’s Psyches - California’s ethnic-studies curriculum is fueling a mental-health crisis among teenagers.

~ I'm trying out a daily "Sallie's Stack" thread in the Forum, right at the top.

~ In the process of setting up ads with a new company (Ezoic). I'm aware there are a LOT OF ADS right now. I appreciate your patience while we get it set up. If you turn off your adblocker on my site, I will truly appreciate it. ♥
