Keep Listening Always!

I think of kindergarten kids sitting with their legs crossed in a circle. The teacher tells them to turn on their listening ears. They actually do a motion of turning on their ears. Do we do that with our Father? Do we have our listening ears on?

I am in the midst of this season of raising funds. It has, some days, been very discouraging and some days very exciting. One thing is for certain. I am learning much. I am meeting so many new people, learning so many new names, driving to places I have never been before. But more than that, I am praying with an expectation that God will tell me where to go. Who to meet with. What church to contact next.

I was on my way to Thailand last week. In my mind I was ready to go. There was an urgency. I packed my bag. And then I got sick. Now I am having tests at Mayo Clinic next week to see what is wrong. At first I felt so disheartened to not be able to go to Thailand and meet with the people I am working with. I felt prevented. Frustrated. It shocked me how quickly I felt that my plans were being thwarted.

I took a day to seek God. He assured me I was in His plan. My listening ears are on. I am looking to His direction.

Praise God with me that I am 25% supported. Listening has brought blessing. How about you? Are your listening ears on?
