No, I am not a Brittney fan, but the reality is that I did do it again. What did I do? Well, actually it's what I haven't been doing. I have been doing a lot, reading through Genesis, reading for my up coming classes, working on the house, working at work, coaching, etc.. What I haven't been doing is listening. More specifically, I haven't been listening to/for God.
The first four months of this year were great times of intimate connection with God. I was taking the time, sometimes a lot of time simply to listening to God. Letting Him drift through my thoughts, guiding my studies, showing me direction. Once I got my marching orders off I ran, forgetting to stay in communication with my God. Its not that I feel lost, I know the direction God wants me to move, the shape my new course of study, and my current ministry. What I miss is the close relationship, my connection with the God of the universe. This all seeing, all knowing, all everything God who cares about me, who knows me, who wants to connect with me. What an awesome God we serve.
Take some time this week, put down your papers, your books (yes even your Bible), set aside the business of life and as the psalmist wrote "Be still and know the I am God." Take the time and reconnect.
