“I glance back in the mirror to the concrete bridge, the one I've boldly driven straight across without second thought, and I see truth reflecting back at me: Every time fear freezes and worry writhes, every time I surrender to stress, aren't I advertising the unreliability of God? That I really don't believe? But if I'm grateful to the Bridge Builder for the crossing of a million strong bridges, thankful for a million faithful moments, my life speaks my beliefs and I trust Him again.”
― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

“God reveals Himself in rearview mirrors. And I've an inkling that there are times when we need to drive a long, long distance, before we can look back and see God's back in the rearview mirror. Maybe sometimes about as far as heaven -- that kind of distance.”
― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

“Short devotions are the bane of deep piety. Calmness, grasp, strength, are never the companions of hurry.”
― E.M. Bounds, Power Through Prayer
