Waking up…
Have you ever had a day that you realize you are actually awake? You feel like maybe you haven’t been so awake lately… just going through the motions. Well, today I felt more awake and it felt good. The last few weeks of vacation have really made me realize that the past months I have just been going through the motions. I have been slowly waking up over the past month or so but today when I saw my kids at church, I was me again. I fell in love with those kids. They restored my hope, my childlike faith, and just the happiness in my heart that only kids can give you.
Andy Stanley started a new series called “Listen and Learn” based on 2 Chronicles 18:1-8, 12-17, 25-34.. Well, I listened to Andy and I definitely learned. Here are some highlights…
- What and who you listen to will influence what you do. (Common sense & simple, yet something we don’t pay attention to!)
- There’s no division in the areas of your life to pray about it- pray about it all and FIRST SEEK COUNSEL OF THE LORD!
- It’s clearly obvious to others who I’m listening to.
- Saying that we are being careful or cautious doesn’t change the fact that we are taking the wrong path. (So true!)
- Isn’t it true that the ones we avoid the most are the ones we really need to listen to? We just don’t want to because we know they’ll tell us what we don’t want to hear! (I can’t count the number of times!)
- God is gracious to me because He sends people into my life to speak truth to me! (Thank you God!) I just have to be open to hear what they are saying!

I know that if I LISTEN, God will radically redirect my life! And I pray I have the courage to do it!
Tomorrow, a few questions to ponder…
Do you have headphones on that are filtering and preventing you from hearing reality? Are you really listening?
