God has been prompting me, teaching me to listen to what truly matters. I am learning to listen to Him. This defies the woman in me that likes to be on the move, to get things done quickly who fits right in with our microwave fast-paced society.
I am away now from distractions of text messages and phone calls. A place where I can hear the sounds of the river. I can hear the voice of Living Waters. Every day as I wait and listen for His voice, I'm learning who I am in Him. He is guiding me and directing me. He is listening to me.
I am learning to slow down, to do the afflictive, to die to my convenience and listen and wait in His presence. It is beautiful. It is peaceful. It is what He intended from the beginning.
Listening IS hard! I too am a women on the go. God has been asking be to slow down and listen the last few weeks. It's amazing what we can hear if we can slow down a bit! Thanks for posting! Stoping by from LJB and 5MF

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Lani!
DeleteWow, Resealia. The picture you painted of such a peaceful place? With no distractions, with just quiet? That sounds so refreshing. I wish we could listen and be filled up in that way somehow even in the midst of the days where we can't escape the busy-ness and the cell phones and the 'microwave' society you mentioned. It's so challenging. Thanks for this beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather for these sweet words of encouragement! In fact, you've given me an idea for another blog post. :-) I'm terribly new to blogging so I'm so happy you stopped by. I paid a visit to your blog as well and learned we both love hazelnut coffee! Nice work on your blog Mama Bird!
DeleteI love this, and resonate with this heart cry for that still place. So happy to have found your words here (through the Allume link up - looking forward to meeting you!).
