Yes, I am listening. There are sounds all around me.
Water running, the clatter of dishes that prove there are busy little hands working diligently.
A little person "reading" a story to herself, using inflection that I have heard somewhere before.
The cough of my "Little Joe" as he slumbers on the couch in a fever induced sleep.
Beautiful tinkling of the wind chime that beckons the rain.
Again, I ask,"Am I listening?"
Listening to the right things; in tune to the Lord and His Spirit that resides within? There will always be busyness of sounds around me, but do I take the time to ponder what my Master wants me to hear?
When I "need" Him, He is there listening and hearing me call on Him.
Lord, help me to hear you, not with my physical ears, but with ears of my heart; my heart that so easily strays from you; my heart that tunes in to things that are idle interests and not life changing.
John 10:27-28 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

This has really been on my heart lately... the struggle to stop and listen. To wait for God. It is SO important. Your post is a good reminder.
And yes, I am thankful for all the resources at Revive Our Hearts, too. Your young girls at church are blessed to be having the class you are co-teaching!
