Life Interrupted

8/3/11 Isn't that what life is----just one interruption after another. At least of OUR plans and expectations. Thus, when Wynellen gave me this Priscilla Shirer's book Sunday night, it had me at the title. Life Interrupted--Navigating the Unexpected. You see, lately I seem to live in the realm of the unexpected. Just now internet went out and I lost draft of most of this blog. FRUSTRATION!! (Obviously I need this book!)
Just a peek inside to whet your appetite-----I'll blog more when I finish reading it. (if internet connection cooperates)

Page one hooked me as well. ...."would've recognized God's unseen hand in all of it....would've met the frustration or disappointment.....knowing He was behind it all, that this interruption was merely His way of laying a foundation for better things."

...I know I don't want to let one more interruption send me off frantically dodging God's will and missing out on what He's wanting to accomplish in me and through me. I want my life to radiate what happens when God has a person's heart at His full control, when every event or circumstance is simply another way to know Him better and show forth His glory. (Shirer p.13)

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.(Isaiah 64:4)

What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived, the things God has prepared for those who love him (I Corinthians 2:9)

I (you) can't begin to fathom God's goodness as He allows interruptions in life (both mine & yours) but we can be joyfully expectant in our waiting.
