I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!
Galations 2:20-21

Nov. 1, 2009~ Listening- verb or noun? ~
Here poses a very important question. Is listening active or passive?
Do you listen as Eli listened in the Bible or as Samuel? This was something that was talked about at church this morning. After listening to the sermon then reading over for myself the verses I have come to the conclusion that we have a choice.
God spoke to both men. Both men heard. One man acted and one did not. One man, once made aware of God's presence became intuned to His voice.
This makes me wonder if I am as intuned to God's voice as I could be. Do I hear Him speak to me even when it is something I do not want to hear? When it is soft and gentle? Then do I respond?
I challenge you to read this passage of scripture in 1st Samuel. See if you also do not feel a challenge coming from God to be more aware of His promptings, to be more aware of the actions- or non actions- that follow.
I think this is much deeper than just these small ramblings but I wanted to get it down while it was on my heart. I will definitely be following up and editing this.
I am a wife to a man who can do everything (Lovingly referred to as MacGyver), mom of 10 (1 married in, 1 almost married in and one adopted in) and a Nana to 4.
I am all about growing in Christ, family, handcrafts and the art of homemaking. My newest passion is knitting.
We live on a small homestead in NE Washington. Raising pigs, chickens and goats, growing a garden and revamping an older home.
