I Am Listening

12 Items or Less Have you ever found yourself asking, "Does God really hear me when I pray?" Followed by, "When is He going to answer me ?" I want you to understand, I know God hears the prayers of His people, but from time to time, it would be great to get an express answer to our prayers, right? God, I have have 12 items or less, please help, I need the express prayer line please. Sounds a little ridiculous when I say it out loud, but, I know I have said it in my mind over and over again. As a Christian I understand that instant answers to prayer don't usually happen, however I have discovered that He does answer prayers in His time and sometimes I don't hear the answer because it's not the way I think it should be answered... I believe God speaks to us in many different ways, through His Word, His Church, and through our Christian family.

A Blank Page

As I grow older, I have discovered "living" has a way of weaving unexpected twists and turns in my life. There are those mountain top experiences filled with overwhelming joy and hope. I have discovered that many times mountain top experiences are followed by a descent to the valley below. Walking through the valley can be lined with heartaches, disappointment, pain, and isolation. Although I am never sure what lies ahead of me as I travel through life, the mountain tops, and the valleys, I am certain that I do not travel alone. Whether up on the mountain top or in the valley below, there is a rhythm, a heartbeat and melody that runs through all life. The Creator and the created. Be still, listen, watch closely and you will see it and feel it surrounding you. I have been reading a book by Sharon W. Betters and Susan Hunt, "Aging With Grace."
