During World War I, Biddy Chambers, her husband, and small daughter moved to Egypt, where he served as a chaplain. He taught, she transcribed. It was a perfect partnership.<\/p>\n

Then her husband\u2019s complications from appendicitis rendered Biddy a widow, and all the dreams of a teaching ministry would have to be abandoned, right? Well, no. She turned her husband\u2019s notes into pamphlets. Eventually, they were compiled into a book, My Utmost For His Highest<\/em>. This work of Oswald Chambers has sold more than 13 million copies and has been translated into more than 35 languages.<\/p>\n

The next time you feel overwhelmed, remind yourself of the one who is standing next to you. Give him what you have, offer thanks, and watch him go to work. Remember friends, you are never alone.<\/p>\n
