Listening


I've been waking up at 4:30 in the morning with an adrenaline rush. Not the good kind that comes with excitement, but the kind that comes with fear. My mind is immediately filled with the stuff that needs to be done while wearing all the various hats I wear. Needless to say, it's not the best way to start the day.

One of the chief causes of the adrenaline rush these days is my fear, for lack of a better word, of not hearing the voice of God in the middle of the noise of my life. I know so few people who are able to listen to His promptings well. I want to hear Him well...but I don't.

I hope to turn the volume down in my mind this summer and learn to listen to His voice. I need it. I don't want to continue without it.
