    Corrie ten Boom
    “Father sat down on the edge of the narrow bed. "Corrie," he began gently, "when you and I go to Amsterdam-when do I give you your ticket?"
    I sniffed a few times, considering this.
    "Why, just before we get on the train."
    "Exactly. And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things, too. Don't run out ahead of Him, Corrie. When the time comes that some of us will have to die, you will look into your heart and find the strength you need-just in time.”
    ― Corrie ten Boom, The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom
