Be Still & Listen

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in life that I forget that days are filled with purpose & little hints along the way....

I was recently given advice that I didn't fully appreciate until today "If you're uncertain about something be still, pray, & listen...but if you're just afraid move forward fearfully with faith"

Today Ive taken the opportunity to just be still & listen-- I haven't had this many thoughts in quite some time because I've been too busy filling my days with "noise" ....there's so much to hear and see, and so often and too easily life gets blurred and the beauty of the journey disfigured. Today is a bit overwhelming...is it because I'm listening? Or is it because I'm scared & teetering on taking those leaps of faith..? Maybe it's both. I was in the elevator alone today and I just started praying out loud-- talking to God as if he were riding up to floor 14 with me, maybe he was, but in that moment I let myself be completely vulnerable, walls down, no guards (a rarity to say the least) and something just told me to shut up & listen...so, thats what Im gonna do...listen in the middle of my fear & do it with blind faith that everything is going to work out accordingly. He is here. He is everywhere. He will never leave.
