Listening

Have you heard the idea of being silent before God? Spending time in prayer, not asking for things but listening to what the Lord may say to you. I find this difficult to do, not just not speaking but keeping my mind quiet. I heard an idea lately for meditation, choosing one word and focusing on it while being silent. Then you allow whatever happens to happen. Thoughts flow through your mind, memories, sadness, tiredness. I don’t think you are supposed to fall asleep. Is this one way to let God speak to me?

These days I am trying to fill our days with regular fun, interesting outtings, and restorative quiet time all while playing a waiting game of sorts. We have a time line for finding our own home, by this November/December. It’s been a long time coming. We’re pretty cramped in my parent’s home and we need room to grow and live as our own family unit. I’m ready for the adventure, whatever it is. Accepting a new place be it far or near, being willing to find a church, medical care givers, and a place to dance. And that is what I have been praying about, being ready for whatever opportunities come our ways.
