To Hear God , Be Still and Listen

 We are so use to the noisy world that we have that becoming quiet is such a challenge for all of us. We want background music while reading or meditating or even while exercising . We seem so afraid of the quiet moments of this world that we continuously look for distractions to avoid God's voice. But today we are ask to Be Still so we can listen to God's voice that we evade amidst all the challenges we face everyday of our lives   . But in the quietness of our mind that's where we could hear God's voice , God's urging ,  God's guidance and directions . Keeping us Still will give us the peace we seek and wanted to enjoy in our daily lives .

To some there maybe difficulty keeping still or we seek the wildness of this world and keep looking for the adventure of a lifetime . 

But we will always find ourselves seeking God's love and provisions , finding God is like finding our lost self and going Back Home in the hands of  the Almighty always craving , always seeking , always loving .    

BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

 In my morning journal I was asking myself how can I be better at work, at home or at the office. Then since it's early morning twilight I was happy seeing myself writing and pouring my hearts out . Then I saw it - Bloom where you are planted - as if the words in the devotional was talking to me  .

Sometimes we look in so many places , trying to find our pot of gold , when it is just around our little corner . We search long and hard and not finding anything when all along the gold is in us or within our reach .

Trying to make that difference when all along the difference is nearby . But we are blinded by realities , fake news , misinformation that we get rattled off by the loud noises and AI. 

We become engross on temporary solutions in our everyday life challenges . when the answer is just an arm reach to us ..

 

What's Slowing You Down ?

 Are you living in a fast pace world ? Always on the go and looking for new adventures . But the pandemic event has in some ways slow us down with all the lockdowns all over the world . We are aware that now life is slowly going back to our normal phase of fast moves and sudden turns . 

But what about you friend ? 

How has life change you for the past 3 years ? Have your goals went into set back mode too just like our everyday life in the past 3 years ?

There was a sudden stop that we experience that even if we want  to move we can not out of our fears , or the world's fears. So how do people pivot again to normal ? 

You can feel that life is back to normal with the crowds in the malls or in public places . But in your heart , is life back to the normal phase ? Or are we still feeling hesitations ? anxieties ? or other mental health issues that's prevalent these past years and that's distracting you to Moving Forward . 

So how do we move forward with all these challenges in our midst ? How do we get back to our usual grove  to bring back our enthusiasm in life and be that achiever again . During the lockdowns when we have so much time in our hands and nothing specific to do I decided to turn to the Lord Jesus and pray the rosary everyday to get assistance from Mama Mary . I also ask protection from the Holy Spirit with his white light of protection . 

It has been 3 years ago but I continue to ask for protection from the Holy Spirit , the blood of Jesus and the cloak of Mama Mary including for my other family members . What a journey it has been and I continue to trust the Lord for his mercy and compassion  . 

To God be the glory !!!
