The part of the book that really stood out was when Elizabeth talks about when things are not going the way WE think that they should, we tend to look at everything else so differently. Things, events, people, etc. that would bring a more favorable reaction or response from us are cheated because we get so caught up in what we desire and when it isn't going our way, we end up hurting a lot of innocent bystanders (the boss yells at you, you come home and kick the dog type of deal). We don't get any joy about a sunny day because so and so hasn't asked us out or didn't notice me...you know what I mean. It is so true and then precious time is wasted and people are hurt.
God's way is the best way. We can continue to argue this and get mad and I praise Elizabeth Elliott for not being afraid to take a stand. Thanks, Elizabeth!
