获取软件Extraordinary Ordinary!预览
Darlene Rose and her missionary friends began to hear the bombs drop night after night.
All of the captives had elected a favorite spot they ran to each night during the shower of bombs and Darlene’s was a cavity in the earth that had grown increasingly familiar to her. However, this particular night, God spoke to Darlene and told her to retrieve a Bible that belonged to one of the other women.
As Darlene raced through the night, the bombs came closer to the POW encampment. She had clearly heard God’s voice and so she was determined to obey rather than stay in the safety of her ditch. After Darlene found the Bible, the bombs began to subside and the raid came to an end. The next morning, she saw a woman sleeping on the floor rather than on her bed. This woman told Darlene that she had tried to save her mattress during the storm of bombs the night before and had thrown it over the spot where Darlene always hid in the ditch. When the woman had gone back to get it, the mattress had been hit by a bomb. The voice of God, and the Word of God, had saved Darlene’s life.
Darlene was only twenty-six years old when the Allied soldiers came and rescued the missionary captives. As Darlene’s boat pulled away from the shore, she thought to herself, “I will never come back here again”. But as her ship pulled away, the natives whom she had led to the Lord stood on the shore singing, “God be with you till we meet again!”
In that instant, Darlene knew she would come back to this land of her captivity, and yet the land of her truest destiny.
After spending only a few years in America, Darlene spent forty more years in this nation. Darlene obeyed the word God had spoken to her heart as a ten-year-old girl. Darlene lived a life of more abundance and joy than you and I can imagine because what she didn’t see was more real than what she saw.

“Extraordinary Ordinary!” is a challenge to live well and embrace the life you have been given with no regrets. We must each accept responsibility for our own lives with no blame or aspersions cast in the direction of others and their choices. You, in partnership with God, will design the life that will occupy the length of your days. While you may not be able to determine all of the events and circumstances of your life, the atmosphere of your life is entirely up to you.
