With you help and Wendy's I was led to listen to God and He showed me the way. It is hard to wait when you feel like you are right there waiting but God is not. I am so glad you heard from Him and wasn't the wait worth it all. At the time you did not see it but you do now and look what many of us were shown because of it.Jane from SCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-84859495726281724942010-02-17T18:49:18.222-05:002010-02-17T18:49:18.222-05:00I seem to be feeling His silence quite a lot right...I seem to be feeling His silence quite a lot right now, too, Joy.<br />Today's post was soooooooooooo encouraging!<br /><br />Love ,<br />Marilyn...in MississipMarilyn in Mississippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808156475777748077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-976908926499580452010-02-16T10:01:06.287-05:002010-02-16T10:01:06.287-05:00Oh Joy, such a beautiful post from your heart. Yo...Oh Joy, such a beautiful post from your heart. You made me think about my own teenager's. How many times to I want their attention and they are preoccupied with their cell phones, ipod's, guitar's, & laptops? Sometimes I even have to take their phone out of their hand and say, "focus your eyes on me!" Is that what God is doing to us, His children!<br /><br />God brought my thougth's back to myself. I have my q.t., praying time, and then how often do I catch myself caught up in serving those around me, and focusing on them, rather than on God?<br /><br />Our God is a jealous God who wants ALL of us. I'm seeing these quiet times we go through in a different light today, thanks to your post, Joy! God is trying to get our attention. He loves us so much! When there is silence, absence of any sound, noise or distraction, what do we do? aahhh, we return to Him, at such a sweeter level! We cannot bare not being in His presence. It's our longing, our hearts desire! So, during that silent period when we feel like we don't hear His whispers, let us enjoy that stillness! Let us put all of our focus back on Him. <br /><br />Once, again you've reminded me that God wants all of me. Thank you sweet friend! Love & hugs & prayer's coming your way!

The closer we are to Jesus, the less we need the spectacular. But when the spectacular comes, have mercy... it's almost more than a heart can handle!<br /><br />Praying for such a gift this week, for us all!<br /><br />peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-86525360345150851502010-02-14T20:24:24.196-05:002010-02-14T20:24:24.196-05:00Thank you for sharing that...I too have been feeli...Thank you for sharing that...I too have been feeling that silence.

Delightful. That is God when He remains silent. <br /><br />I think of a mother with her child starting to walk...backing away in order to draw the child near, and strengthen their legs, confidence, etc. I think that is something like God when He seems silent.<br /><br />Glad you were refreshed!<br />Love,<br />KathyKathy Schwankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575973280157910643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810396843383456111.post-78391867637050698152010-02-13T20:53:20.791-05:002010-02-13T20:53:20.791-05:00God's ways and ours are so different!
