Giving Ear to His words

The scriptures ask us to give ear to God's words. I'm really excited to share this journey with all of you. I know this is my next right step.  I need to grow in my ability to hear God's word, in recognizing His voice, and especially in taking action.  On Saturday evening I attended the General Relief Society meeting that was broadcast in my chapel.  I heard a story of a woman who was six months pregnant who began to bleed and called her husband.  He told her to call 911 immediately and that he would meet her at the hospital.  She didn't have time to call the number before there was a knock on her door.  It was the ladies from her church who were assigned to watch and care for her.  They had felt that they needed to visit her at that moment.  They were able to take her directly to the hospital and she was able to survive as well as her new baby who was delivered that day 3 months prematurely.  That story touched me.  I want to be the kind of woman that God can send that kind of message to, and that I will be obedient to His voice.  Yesterday at church I went asking God a very specific question about my life.  In one of my classes, I received the answer to the question.  It is too private to share but it was a SAYGOBEDO.  So last night I did what I was asked to do by God.  And I plan to do it every day of my life because I know that is what God wants me to do.  I was talking about this with my husband tonight.  He said that he believes these promptings come best when we meditate about certain people that we care about, we ponder in our hearts about their needs, we really love and pray for them and want to serve them.  This is when we are tuned into the right channel of receiving a SAYGOBEDO for certain people.  It isn't always that way but often it is because they are in our thoughts and God can send us to help them and grow to love them more.  Yesterday at church a thought came to me to say goodbye to a sister that I have come to care for and serve over the past year.  I knew that she was going to move away soon but when I went up to her to say goodbye and tell her I love her, I learned that she was moving to another city right after the services were over.  She has served as the leader over the children in church for the past 4 years.  She has blessed my life immensely.  Normally on Sundays I am too busy to talk to anyone so I am so grateful that God's voice called me to say goodbye.  It was so sweet.  -Until tomorrow...Marci
