Holy Spirit Hearing Aids

I've heard that line over and over and over from people. From people who are doing amazing things: "One thing led to another." I'd be willing to bet that as you look at your life, you'd say the same things about where you are today. So, here's a crazy thought. What if one thing leading to another was actually the Holy Spirit guiding you?
~Joel Malm, "Connecting the Dots"


Our Holy Spirit hearing aids have been getting lots of practice lately. That "still, small voice" in 1 Kings 19:12, the whisper that often seems like a coincidence, has been changing our plans and giving us some sweet opportunities we would have missed. Like when my cousin is working in our home town and gets finished a little early? A quick Greek lesson along with a cup of decaf before my hubby had a meeting and my cello students showed up.


Or that friend who had a birthday, but we were struggling to align our schedules? Whisper, whisper...how bout showing up at the coffee shop when it opens its doors, then going for an early Saturday morning walk, coffee in hand, to share your hearts? Worth getting up.
