"We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer I really liked this quote as I read it. But the more time you spend thinking about what this actually says the more you start to realize that this might not be something that is "liked" when it is happening. What I mean is that usually when we are interuppted we see whatever it is as a hassle or bother. It generally comes at the times when we are busy doing something else and our minds are completely occupied with that task. So being interuppted by God means that I am going to have to let go of my agenda, my plans, my control over not only whatever I'm doing at the moment, but if I truly want God to be my everything than I have to give up my life. Interesting how such a seemingly simple sentence can have such deep meaning and connotation.
