Oswald Sanders. D.E. Hoste (a friend of Hudson Taylor who founded the China Inland Mission) said: "The pressure! It goes on from stage to stage, it changes in every period of your life....Hudson Taylor said how in his younger days, things came so clearly, so quickly to him. 'But,' he said, 'now as I have gone on, and God has used me more and more, I seem often to be like a man going along in a fog. I do not know what to do.'" Interestingly the author notes, "But when the time came to act, God always responded to His servant's trust.<br /><br />I thought that this quote and reflections were definitely in the same vein as this blog entry about wandering around in the dark.

Looking back, I know that they were from God, but somehow I let my emotions take over and I didn't relax, I didn't surrender. I just let myself get more worked up. It's interesting how sometimes you can think that you're walking in obedience and your temper tantrums are justified, but they never really are."<br /><br />Heh!
