"interrupted plans"

We like things to go smoothly and as planned. Very often unexpected things intervene, and our plans go awry. 

We think we've got problems. There is another level at which everything that happens is being engineered. 

"God has no problems," Corrie ten Boom said, "only plans." 

When ours are interrupted, His are not. His plans are proceeding exactly as scheduled, moving us always 

[including those minutes or hours or years that seem most useless or wasted or unendurable] toward the goal of full maturity. 

Believe God. Turn the interruptions over to Him. He is at the controls.

-Elisabeth Elliot
