Another Route

I was paging through The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom to inspire me to post and I found a little something. I think I will dedicate it to Lowen Grey. When the only young man Corrie ever loved came to visit one day with his fiance, this is what Corrie's father tenderly said to Corrie later on in her room. "Love is the strongest force in the world, and when it is blocked that means pain. There are 2 things to do when that happens. Kill the love somehow so it stops hurting or ask God to open up another route for that love to travel." Who can argue with Corrie Ten Boom's father? Sounds like a call to get involved in ministry...

This is incredible. My mom is blogging about my broken heart. Knowing now that dozens of distant friends and strangers know and sympathize with my situation makes me feel much better. Not to mention, Corrie Ten Boom's renowned life of celibacy and general reclusion is also very inspiring to me right now.

Corrie Ten Boom's father must have been one of the wisest men I have ever heard of; he constantly amazes me with his profound advice to his children and those around him. I will pray for Lowen, too.
