Quote of the Week

This week's quote comes from Gladys Aylward.  One of the things I love about Gladys is that she embodied a willingness to go, wherever God might send her.  She went from being a housemaid in England, to being rejected by a missionary agency, to finally making it to China where she served for many years.  I love this quote for it's simplicity.  I think in the end, the main thing God is looking for is people who are willing.

"I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done in China.  I don't know who is was.  It must have been a man, a well-educated man. I don't know what happened.  Perhaps he died.  Perhaps he wasn't willing, and God looked down and saw Gladys Aylward.  And God said, 
"Well, she's willing." - Gladys Aylward
