Room for God

"What kind of life does my heart want?

I find no easy answers to that question,

but I know the answer means

giving up the fantasy of always moving forward

and allowing instead for seasons of dormancy.

And it is always time to listen.

Perhaps the heart's single greatest desire

is to listen attentively to the voice of God

speaking through scripture, nature, daily events,

and the kind of reflection that leads to expanding self-knowledge.

My heart wants the kind of life that leaves room for God."

--Elizabeth J. Canham

"Heart Whispers"

It is one of my fantasy's--

that I am to be always moving forward

And though there is something very good in

such an expressed desire,

it is not reality.

I struggle with

unknown

and yes,

waiting

But in rereading the words of Elizabeth J. Canham

last evening,

I knew again that 

to pose my heart for listening for His voice

is all that He asks

I don't have to figure it all out

just make room for God.
