A time for connecting...

Has there ever been that special place in your life...where the distractions of this world seem to dissolve into the floorboards. This place for me just happens to be in North Carolina. Our dear friends own a farm that has long since been occupied. On this farm is a professional horse stable, that once held most likely over 30 some horses at one time. But its the hay barn that has always captured my heart. There is something so quiet, so peaceful about the faintest smell of hay, and the old fashioned wide plank floors, with the hint of sunlight beaming through each crack in the walls. The silentness makes God's voice beam through nearly as bright as the sunlight. I could spend hours just soaking in everything around me. So my anticipation for tomorrow is like a kid the night before Christmas. Equipped with my bibles and ready to just sit (kneel) in his presence, and in the quietness hear only his voice...is such an exciting time for me. Lord I want to hear your voice, I want you to still the world around me, block out all that is not you. Allow me to hear only you. Speak to your willing servant. Not that I am able, but because you are. I long to hear your voice, may your will prosper in my hands, not for my gain....but for your glory.
