I was reminded the other day that it had been awhile since I had posted anything new to this blog. And I laughed. And admitted it was true. Sometimes I get to the place where I need to stop talking for awhile. Sometimes there is the pressure to talk when I should be listening. Since the last blog I have been listening. And I have been reminded that this journey with Christ is a simple journey. Really, I am the one who complicates it. If I just listen and act on the promptings God puts on my heart life is pretty peaceful and I find my ability to contribute beauty and enjoy life goes way up. For instance. I was prompted to stop and visit an old college friend. As I was driving to his home I had a little problem finding it, and this idea hit me that maybe I ought to put it off for another day. I pushed through and was glad I did. He needed a listening ear and I left knowing I had done my part. Nothing big. But it was big. It don’t always hear correctly. Like the other day I sensed a prompting to visit another friend. I drove passed the road and then turned and went back. He wasn’t home. But I was willing and I can work on the listening part. All that to say let’s talk when we have something to say and when it’s time to listen let’s enjoy listening.
