I really enjoyed the following quotes from Genoa Bay by Bette Nordberg.
"Something--was it fear, or grief, or some other, unknown force?--kept me circling, indecisive, uncertain. While I circled, unwilling to let go of my past, I forfeited my present. I knew in that instant. It was time to make a decision. He had prepared me for this moment, for this question, for this decision. . . . And though most people would see the whole progression as nothing more than coincidence mixed with my own vivid imagination, I knew then exactly what God wanted me to do.
Jump!"
"I've discovered, in the course of my life, that these moments, these surprising moments of pain, usually hide some deeper secret, some meaningful moment of self-recognition. On my own, I rarely distinguish truth from the discomfort. But when I invite God into the mess, I sometimes find the answer."
