Gladys Aylward on being willing

I've been feeling guilty about trying to paraphrase Gladys Aylward instead of letting her speak for herself. So here it is in her own words:

"I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done for China…I don't know who it was…It must have been a man…a well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing…and God looked down…and saw Gladys Aylward…And God said -- 'Well, she's willing.'" - Gladys Aylward
