A Commonplace Book - Weekend

Many things that artists create are blocked by people or circumstances, not by God. For two and a half years I screamed at God because nobody wanted my book A Wrinkle in Time. It almost never got published. I kept saying, "It's a good book, a good book, I wrote it for You. Why all these rejection slips?" But we have to trust God's timing. A Wrinkle in Time came out at exactly the right moment, by publishers who did not expect it to be a success.
