Listening To A Higher Voice

Today we received the phone call that my husband's mother had taken a turn for the worse. She is fighting cancer and they advised him to head down to Texas to be with her immediately. As you can imagine, when one receives a call like that your heart drops and your thoughts try to go south, hijacking your emotions along with them. Fortunately, my husband and I have learned to listen past the voices of emotions and even past the prognosis of doctors and take time to be still in times of greatest conflict. It is in those still moments that we tend to hear God's voice most clearly. Today, despite the horrible thoughts that try to invade our minds, we could hear another voice, the voice of God's Spirit say, "Be still and know that I am God and I can turn this obstacle into an opportunity. Only Believe. Put your trust in me and I will give you peace in the midst of the storm." It always amazes me that peace really does come when we take our eyes off of our challenge and put them on God, the ONE who can take all things, even cancer and turn them around for our good. Stay tuned as we unveil the beauty of this opportunity that has come our way today!
