Obedience

"But I have found that whenever I have surrendered in obedience, impossible things have become simple.... May he who has helped me with even more difficult things than this one help me now. Into his mercy I deliver my trust."

- St. Teresa of Avila from The Interior Castle

I've just started reading this book and it is blowing me away already. It's "heady" as Matt would say - St. Teresa was a 16th century nun and mystic - her wisdom and obvious intimacy with God is apparent in each paragraph, almost each sentence. I'll keep you updated.

Much love,
Natalie
