This post too reveals a deepening of your experience that resonates with others.<br /><br />Sometimes I become frustrated at the intentional constant stream of noise, music (I use that term loosely) and advertising that is unavoidable when one just tries to go into a store to buy something. It is part of tying up the hearts of millions of people so they cannot hear the voice of God to their souls. If a person wants to be serious about getting closer to God they also have to get serious about limiting or eliminating more and more of the sources of distraction from their lives. Remember Elijah's training session on the mountain?<br />Our "adopted" daughter talked to me last night and shared that she had spent last weekend at a "silent retreat" where no one was allowed to talk. This can be a real struggle for her but the effect that it may have had on her spiritual awareness and ability to God seems to be dramatic. For the first time in her life she believes she is hearing messages directly to her from God.<br />Thank-you so much for sharing these most important thoughts with us.Clay Feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811502760379647181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156046975633327551.post-82272437066668237552009-11-17T09:21:54.671-06:002009-11-17T09:21:54.671-06:00***correction****

I used to be a woman who talked too, now I find that I struggle to find something that is truly beneficial to say. Sometimes silence is exactly right. <br />Proverbs 10:19 says:<br /> When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.<br /> <br />I have grown to love this verse.<br />Thank you, Heather, for your insightful post!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797249102281133361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156046975633327551.post-19685713703714862602009-11-16T19:49:48.661-06:002009-11-16T19:49:48.661-06:00Beautiful post.Beautiful post.Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156046975633327551.post-90882084864578204492009-11-16T19:37:59.655-06:002009-11-16T19:37:59.655-06:00I has such trouble being silent within myself but ...I has such trouble being silent within myself but I continue to practice it daily.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740723543016312077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1156046975633327551.post-64832677592458818312009-11-16T15:38:32.303-06:002009-11-16T15:38:32.303-06:00AMEN!AMEN!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924807090685429673noreply@blogger.com
