Quotes by Valerie Elliot Shepard (?)

“Let me not respond as a child", when our whole being wants to kick and scream and wail? How willing are we to accept God's plans maturely when all human reason and affection shouts to "do something about it!" She choose to accept the Lord's timing, His way in this whole drama...”
