“[God] seems so much 'for us' these days. I have not lost one nameable thing by putting her and our whole affair in the simplest way possible into His hands. There has been no careful planning, no worrying over details in the matter. I have simply recognized love in me, declared it to her, and to Him, and as frankly as I could told Him I wanted His way in it. There has been no leading thus far to engagement, but the symptoms of a beautiful courtship prevail - not, perhaps, a routine one, or a 'normal' one, but a good one, nevertheless, and, withal, a deep sense that it is God-directed.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Shadow of the Almighty: The Life and Testament of Jim Elliot

“The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.”
