Sometimes I want to sit in front of this computer and write long, amazing posts full of all the things God keeps showing me. I mean, I REALLY want to do that like you just wouldn’t believe…and He just won’t let me. I’m going through something like that right now and thought I’d let you know why it’s been a bit quiet here lately.
- God’s been saying plenty. Trust me on this. Apparently, however, now is not the time to share those things.
- Maybe it’s because you’ve got to really “GET” the lesson and have it worked down into your life before you’re really able to share or teach it properly. And He’s giving me a lot to take in right now.
- Maybe it’s because He’s apparently got a lot to say through the people around me and doesn’t need my voice to get in the way of theirs.
- Maybe He’s just teaching me how to listen when He says, “No.” to something that I want/crave/view as “mine”…and learn to respond to the “No.” in ways that still honor Him.
- Maybe…who knows?
Whatever the reason for the time-out, know this: God is good. Amazingly good. He is loving and caring and personal and He sees you right where you are and He knows what you NEED even when it isn’t what you want and He still has a plan that is for your good.
Are you listening? Even if He says “No.” to you, too?
quiet ambitions: 
Becky, this is such a timely message for some of us. Lord, help us to listen when you say NO or WAIT by just simply trusting your leadership. Thanks!

Oh, Mrs. Betty, this is so much harder than some people acknowledge. How do you “get good at it” without being told the “No.” more than once or twice? A clear explanation on demand about the “why” would help, but then we’d be the ones in charge instead of Him…and who REALLY wants that?! Praying for you today. Love.
