Dear God,
Listening to you is really hard. First we have to find your voice, which is really hard for us humans because we're usually to lazy to crack open a bible I know I am guilty of this. And second and this is the really hard even harder than the first we have to act on what you're telling us. Normally (even in everyday conversation) we only hear what a person is saying we don't activally participate in the conversation. We want others to do all the hard work so all we have to do is show up. When all we do is the first part of listening which is cracking open the Bible or even a devotional book we're only hearing what you have to say we aren't taking it in us swishing it around a little then spitting it back out for the world to see what we've done with what you've given us. Only when we do that are we listening. I have a hard time of doing any of these things take this blog for example. I am really bad at updating and I don't always know what to say. But I know you've given me a laptop, two hands, two eyes, a brain, and your word. So given all those gifts and many more I am using this blog as a way to share you with others. I am only human so I will never get it 100% right but I will always have your Holy Spirit with me. Also with everything you've done for me sharing you is the least I could do.
Still Trying,
Amelia
