“I think I come across as odd or old-fashioned or both, but I’m always in rooms with younger people who think everything is awful and doomed, and I just think it’s as it always has been. There are more actors than work. Most plays aren’t great, and they don’t run. This is not new, and it always concerned us: We always complained about it. But the reward for me was working, and working with so many wonderful people who dreamed what I dreamed and loved what I loved. These are my friends, and that’s what I remember—our joy in working. When we meet, we don’t talk about reviews or how something failed: We meet as friends who can’t believe how lucky we’ve been to work at what we love. That should always be the focus.”—Frances Sternhagen in a 2004 interview.

Sometimes we ask God for one thing, while He is preparing something far greater.

The door that closed wasn’t the end.
The delay wasn’t a denial.
The waiting wasn’t wasted.

God sees the full picture when we can only see a single page. Trust Him with what you cannot understand yet. His plans have always been bigger than your fears and better than your expectations.
