I think it started with the cookies…
Becca & Nick
Getting a little homesick one day, I attempted to make chocolate chip cookies in my “easy bake.” Since there were only two other girls in my apartment, and I’d made an overabundance, I decided to share my cookies. So I brought some cookies to an older gentleman who was sort of like an adopted grandpa to me. Word got out…
“He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” So His merciful and miraculous leading is individual—“Thou (singular) shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee.” The temptation is great to imitate or to expect the same manner of guidance which God has given another. “What is that to Thee; follow thou Me.” His Word abounds in examples of His separate leading of His sheep.
(from the journal of Elisabeth Elliot, quoted in Devotedly by Valorie Elliot Shepard)
