“When the train goes through the tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away your ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.”
Corrie ten Boom
A good word from Corrie ten Boom, who knew all about dark times. I originally posted this quote in November 2016, on the first anniversary of my husband’s passing. Now, I post it again, on the tenth anniversary, and can tell you that it remains just as true.
Those early dark days of my grief journey are nothing in comparison to what Corrie ten Boom experienced under the evils of the Nazi regime, but they were still an unknown and frightening time, as I learned to navigate life without my husband and best friend. Even as I recently traveled (alone again), I learned to sit still and trust the Lord, the Engineer of my life, as the plane turned around mid-flight due to unknown issues. I missed my traveling partner, as I worked to figure out next steps and another overnight stay, but through it all, God was reminding me that He was still with me, even when my husband was not. It was the Lord who brought me safely home.
So, I press on, whatever comes my way, trusting in the Lord who engineers my days and watches over my coming and going, both now and forevermore. In that I have peace and rest. I pray you do as well.
Grace and Peace
