"Oh, I've dozens of plans, Marilla. I've been thinking them out for a week. I shall give life here my best, and I believe it will give its best to me in return. When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend but I'm going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend, Marilla. I wonder how the road beyond it goes - what there is of green glory and soft, checkered light and shadows - what new landscapes - what new beauties - what curves and hills and valleys further on."Yes, you never know what lies beyond the bend, and yes, it has its fascination. Sometimes it can be a little uncertain and scary not knowing what lies ahead next, but - I know the One who already knows what lies around that bend. And the next bend. And the next. I don't know what God has in store for me, but it lies waiting for me just around the corner - around the bend in the road.
