Careful what you pray for because God always delivers!
I prayed that I could feel more sadness and anger and boy, have we been through the wringer this week and it was NOT FUN. Except there were some moments that were just so unfortunate we couldn't help but laugh
But amidst "one of those weeks" we had some simple and happy moments that were only so sweet because of everything else that was happening. One particularly rough morning Sister Bishop stepped into our room to pray and I knew there wasn't anything that I could say to help her. So I did the only thing I could- I went to my knees and prayed for her. And I relearned a simple truth: God speaks quietly. My mind was loud, there were so many answers I was trying to sort through. But underneath it all there was a little whisper.
Loud: NO
Whisper: yes
Sister Bishop came out and through tears we both shared similar answers. Now Sister Bishop and I aren't huggers so after a tender moment of God answering both of our prayers, we had a nice solid fist bump :)
God speaks in quiet ways. He doesn't force us to do anything, He won't fight for our attention, but He is always there, quietly answering us. My world is filled with so many loud voices and too often God's quiet voice is the one I lose. But I am so grateful that He consistently whispers those quiet, reassuring thoughts. He's there! ALWAYS!!!
How are you going to search for God's quiet voice in your life?
Love big! Love hard!
