Chapter 11
“My Thoughts Are Not Your Thoughts”,
Declares the Lord
Vonnie arrived safely in the village on March 19 and returned to her home and family on the Ilam River
opposite a nearby mountain. She had taken with her their newly finished prayer letter and envelopes
that needed addressing. The newsletter focused on the theme of Isaiah 55:8-9: “For my thoughts are not
your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (NIV)
