Are you listening?

I am just so blessed at how God is so willing to teach us if we are just willing to listen. He can work with the busiest of schedules and in the midst of lots of stuff- He wants to be a part of ALL of our activities.

The last few days have been busier in our house cause my littlest angel has not been feeling well and is congested. And my 2 yr old and one of my 3 yr olds have colds. So, as a mom things have been busier- up a little more at night, more bathes to clear stuffy noses, and lots of cuddling. Needless to say my Bible time has been harder to come by. But even in the midst of all of that God has been speaking to me, teaching me, strengthening me, and giving me topics for my next blog-haha.

Mylee is an incredibly happy baby and a total joy. But she like any child hits this point when she is all done and she just wants mommy! It often frustrates my husband cause he can be holding her doing the same thing I would do and it doesn't work! I will take her from him and within minutes she calms down.

I have found that the key in calming her is talking to her- my voice calms her. There is often lots of activity and noise in our house yet when I hold her and whisper in her ear she calms down. And God was teaching/speaking to me today while I was calming her- that is EXACTLY what He wants to be for us! No matter what noise, voice, or situations are around us He wants us to tune into Him. That means we have to choose to stop our own yelling and the yelling around us to hear Him. Mylee will still be crying when I take her and I allow her to get in out of her system and continue to talk to her and she slowly goes from screaming to whimpering to little baby sniffles. It's so funny cause often times God will allow us to fuss and scream and will keep trying to reach us and we have to allow ourselves to calm down and here what He is saying.

He is so faithful and will continue to try to reach us. I encourage you all to allow Him to teach you throughout, and expect Him to become apart of your days- no matter how little time you have in your day.

~Psalms 25:5 "Guide me in your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for you [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long."
